Abstract

While the major cardiovascular manifestation in Marfan syndrome is a progressive dilatation of the ascending aorta, leading to aortic aneurysm formation and eventually to fatal aortic rupture or dissection, mitral valve prolapse and calcification of the mitral valve annulus, dilatation of the main pulmonary artery may be seen. There was no knowledge about the association of Marfan syndrome and quadricuspid aortic valve. In this case report, we aimed to declare this association between Marfan syndrome and quadricuspid aortic valve.

MARFAN SENDROMU VE KUATRİKÜSPİT AORT

Abstract

Marfan sendromunun başlıca kardiyovasküler tutulumları arasında progresif çıkan aort dilatasyonu, aorta rüptürü, mitral kapak prolapsuzu ve mitral anuler kalsifikasyon, pulmoner arter dilatasyonu sayılabilir. Ancak Marfan sendromu ile Kuadriküspit aort arasında bir ilişki henüz tanımlanmamıştır. Biz bu olgu sunumumuzda Marfan sendromu ile Kuadriküspit aort arasındaki ilişkiyi vurgulamak istedik
