Zusammenfassung: | Background:Neonatal Marfan syndrome is a rare and severe phenotype of
this disease. A poor prognosis is anticipated due to the high
probability of congestive heart failure, and mitral and tricuspid
regurgitations with suboptimal response to medical therapy and
difficulties in surgical management at an early age. Case Presentation:
We present two consecutive patients with this disease who are the first
reported cases from Iran to the best of our knowledge. Unfortunately
both of them died shortly after diagnosis. Conclusion: Neonatal Marfan
syndrome is reported from Iran and has a poor prognosis like the
patients reported from elsewhere. |
