Abstract 

We report the case of a 6 year old girl with Turner Syndrome and Aberrant Right Subclavian Artery with an incidental finding of PAPVR on contrast-enhanced, high-pitch, 128-slice, electrocardiographic-gated dual source CT. There is value of using high-pitch DSCT in pediatric patients for diagnostic images with minimal radiation exposure.
