In the obscure short story “A Tale of the Ragged Mountains,” Edgar Allen Poe meticulously described a character with features remarkably consistent with the Marfan syndrome. This description appeared in fiction >50 years before the celebrated index description in the published medical research by Professor Antoine Marfan in Paris in 1896.
在晦涩的短篇小说《拉格德山的故事》中，埃德加·艾伦·坡（Edgar Allen Poe）细致地描述了一个具有明显马凡综合征特征的角色。这个描述出现在小说中，比 1896 年巴黎的 Antoine Marfan 教授在发表的医学研究中著名的索引描述早了 50 多年。
