Abstract:
Marfan syndrome is an uncommon congenital disease originally described by Marfan in 1896. It is inherited as an autosomal dominant trait and can affect the tissues of mesodermal origin, mainly skeletal, ocular, and cardio-vascular systems. We report 4 cases of Marfan syndrome occurring in one family, one of which was found to have an acute attack of glaucoma and underwent extract operation of a right dislocated lens. A brief summary of the literature is submitted.
