Abstract

MARFANS syndrome is a kind of mesodermal entity in volving eyes skeletomuscular system and CVS sonit is a kind of syndrome complex. Involving bones cartilage joints bones ligaments blood vessels skin muscles eyes hear valves joints so we have 3 major manifestations of eyes CVS system and skeletomuscular system one may not have manifestations of all three their could be manifestations if one or two systems in that case it would be known as marfanoid stroma.
Ophthalmic manifestations are Sub laxation and dislocation of lens pseudophakia ECTOPIA LENTES nystagmus squint cataracts KERATOCONUS High myopia ret detachment, Skeletomuscular manifestations are Talk this person high arched pak are tower skill macroglossia, King tapering spiders fingers span of arm is greater than height Mera carpal index is positive arachnodactyly kyphosis scoliosis n Pigeon shaped chest tendency for fractures, CVS manifestations are Aortic dilatation, Mitral valve prophase syndrome, Severe mitral regurgitation, PDA, Atrial septal defects.
