Abstract
Cardiovascular manifestations of Marfan syndrome are associated with increased mortality, especially in the pediatric population. Early recognition is critical to long-term management. We present two cases of genetically defined “classical” Marfan syndrome presenting with severe infantile aortic root dilatation among siblings and discuss options for therapy.
