Abstract

We report an 8-year-old girl with Marfan syndrome who had dilatation of the aortic root and ascending thoracic aorta, seen on MR imaging. Besides these anatomical abnormalities, aortic regurgitation was also seen on MR imaging, which is a good noninvasive method to diagnose aortic abnormalities in children with Marfan syndrome.
