Arterial tortuosity syndrome–A case report from Iran
Introduction: Arterial tortuosity syndrome (ATS), an autosomal recessive rare connective tissue disorder characterized by tortuosity, elongation and stenosis in the large and medium sized arteries. It manifestations include vascular and nonvascular connective tissue related symptoms. In this literature we describe the first cases of ATS from Iran. Case report: A six-months-old female wa...
متن کاملArterial tortuosity and aneurysm in a case of Loeys-Dietz syndrome type IB with a mutation p.R537P in the TGFBR2 gene.
We report a 13-year-old girl with Loeys-Dietz syndrome (LDS) caused by a known transforming growth factor beta receptor II (TGFBR2) gene mutation, who developed aortic root dilatation and saccular aneurysm of the internal carotid artery. LDS is a rare, autosomal dominant aortic aneurysm syndrome with multisystem involvement. The disease is typically characterized by the triad of arterial tortuo...
متن کاملLoeys-Dietz syndrome type I and type II: clinical findings and novel mutations in two Italian patients
BACKGROUND Loeys-Dietz syndrome (LDS) is a rare autosomal dominant disorder showing the involvement of cutaneous, cardiovascular, craniofacial, and skeletal systems. In particular, LDS patients show arterial tortuosity with widespread vascular aneurysm and dissection, and have a high risk of aortic dissection or rupture at an early age and at aortic diameters that ordinarily are not predictive ...
متن کاملAortic Dissection of Unknown Origin in a Young Patient: A Case Report
Aortic dissection occurs when a tear develops in the wall of the aorta, which is rare in the young population. This fatal disorder is hard to diagnose, especially in young patients. We present the case of aortic dissection in a 15-year-old boy referred to the Emergency Department of Yazd University of Medical Sciences in November 2015. The patient presented to our department with sudden acute c...
متن کاملInternational Registry of Patients Carrying TGFBR1 or TGFBR2 Mutations: Results of the MAC (Montalcino Aortic Consortium).
BACKGROUND The natural history of aortic diseases in patients with TGFBR1 or TGFBR2 mutations reported by different investigators has varied greatly. In particular, the current recommendations for the timing of surgical repair of the aortic root aneurysms may be overly aggressive. METHODS AND RESULTS The Montalcino Aortic Consortium, which includes 15 centers worldwide that specialize in heri...
