A Syndrome of Prolapsed Leaflets
Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2015, Vol 3, Issue 5
Abstract
Marfan syndrome is a variable autosomal dominant disorder with characteristic cardiovascular, eye and skeletal features. Progressive aortic dilatation, usually maximal at the sinus of Valsalva, associated with aortic valve incompetence leads to aortic dissection or rupture and is the principal cause of mortality. We report a case of marfan syndrome with prolapse of all valves with severe aortic regurgitation. Occurrence of prolapse of all cardiac valves is not commonly seen.
