Article Synopsis
- A 39-year-old man with a history of Marfan syndrome and on warfarin therapy was admitted to the hospital for a left frontal subcortical hemorrhage.
- Despite imaging showing micro-bleeds in the brain, no abnormal blood vessels were found; however, angiography indicated potential Loeys-Dietz syndrome due to tortuous carotid and vertebral arteries.
- Genetic testing identified a new mutation in the FBN1 gene linked to Marfan syndrome, which was not present in his parents but found in his sons, suggesting it arose spontaneously and has unique implications for the patient's condition.
