Description

We report on the case of a 16-year-old boy known to have suffered form the Marfan syndrome for the past ten years. Even though he could not be regarded as a text-book perfect example, he showed some rare manifestations of the disease. Particular attention is given to the diagnostic possibilities offered by MR imaging. (orig./MG)
