Prenatal and postnatal echocardiographic manifestations of early-onset Marfan syndrome: a case report

Abstract

Early-onset Marfan syndrome (eoMFS) is a rare subset of Marfan syndrome with varying phenotypic expression that occurs in the neonatal and infantile periods. eoMFS has a poor prognosis associated with high rates of mortality. Most newborn eoMFS patients present early onset heart failure that is resistant to treatment. This study presents a case of eoMFS.
