Abstract Turner syndrome (TS) is a rare disorder affecting 25–50 in 100000 female newborns. Bicuspid aortic valve (BAV)
is assumed to be the most common congenital heart defect (CHD) in TS. In literature, reported BAV prevalence in
TS ranges between 14% and 34%. The specific BAV prevalence in TS is still unknown. The aim of this study was to
give a more precise estimation of BAV prevalence in TS by conducting a meta-analysis of TS-studies, which
detected BAV by either cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) or cardiac computed tomography (CT).
