Marfan's syndrome is a an autosomal dominant disorder of connective tissue that is characterized by ocular, skeletal, and cardiovascular manifestation. It is estimated to have a prevalence of 4-6 per 10,000 people, and at least 25 percent of the cases occur in the absence of a family history. Coronary artery ectasia is a diffuse abnormality of the vessel wall, which has been reported in associated with coronary atherosclerosis, infectious process, congenital heart lesion, syphilis, Ehlers-Danlos syndrome. We reported a case of 25-year-old male who presented with Marfan's syndrome associated with dissecting ascending arotic aneurysm and diffuse dilatated coronary artery ectasia. Coronary angiographic study demonstrated the diffusely dilatated coronary artery ectasia.
