Abstract:
Aortic aneurysms are a common entity among adults but very rare in the pediatric age-group. Association with autosomal inheritance is well established. We describe the unusual clinical presentation of a large ascending aortic aneurysm in a young child who was ultimately found to have severe diffuse arterial tortuosity.
