Wrist and Hand Conditions

Skeletal features include tall stature with
arm span greater than height,
arachnodactyly, hyperextensible joints,
scoliosis, a high-arched palate, and
pectus excavatum. Ophthalmologic
examination may show myopia and ocular
lens subluxation, and echocardiography
may reveal a dilated aortic root or MVP.
Patients with suggestive physical features
or a family history of Marfan syndrome
may undergo clinical and
echocardiographic evaluation or DNA
testing to confirm the diagnosis.
