Marfan syndrome is a rare connective tissue disorder with a prevalence of approximately 2 to 3 per 10,000 individuals. There have been some reports of young patients with Marfan syndrome developing arteriovenous thromboembolism. These events were unprovoked and recurrent. Owing to its rarity, hypercoagulopathy and other metabolic derangement in patients with Marfan syndrome remains largely unknown. Herein, we report a case of a young man with Marfan syndrome who had myocardial infarction and pulmonary embolism. We hope that this case adds to the scant body of knowledge about this patient population.
马凡综合征是一种罕见的结缔组织疾病，患病率约为每10000人中有2至3人。有一些关于马凡综合征年轻患者发生动静脉血栓栓塞的报道。这些事件是自发性且反复发作的。由于其罕见性，马凡综合征患者的高凝状态和其他代谢紊乱在很大程度上仍不为人知。在此，我们报告一例患有马凡综合征的年轻男性发生心肌梗死和肺栓塞的病例。我们希望这个病例能增加关于这一患者群体的稀少知识。
