Huge isolate abdominal aorta aneurysm in a 24-year-old patient with Marfan syndrome in CT imaging in view of recent literature
Journal Title: Journal of Pre-Clinical and Clinical Research - Year 2008, Vol 2, Issue 1
Abstract
The Marfan syndrome is an autosomal dominant disorder of connective tissue characterized by a large number of possible mutations, and by heterogeneity of clinical presentation primarily in skeletal, ocular and cardiovascular organ systems. Cardiovascular complications of the disease are responsible for high mortality. The case of a young patient with a progressive advanced abdominal aorta dilatation visualized on CT images is presented. Pathogenesis, diagnosis and management of patients with Marfan syndrome are also discussed.
