Abstract

Marfan syndrome is an autosomal dominant hereditary disease that compromises various systems that usually require a multidisciplinary approach. The cause of Marfan syndrome is unknown, but recent genetic studies have related this disease to an extracellular microfibrillar defect located on chromosome 15q15-q21.3. Due to the severity of the signs and symptoms the diagnosis is usually at a very young age. We report a patient with extreme Marfan syndrome with all the particulars that this syndrome offers.
