Deskripsi
Marfan syndrome is a rare connective tissue disorder manifesting with cardiovascular pathologies which are also the leading cause of death. Herein, we present the past 20 years follow up of a family with 17 members afflicted with Marfan syndrome. 3 members of the family were deceased and none were due to cardiovascular events. We assume to some extent traumas are a neglected cause for a part of mortality in Marfan syndrome.
