A unique cardiovascular presentation of Marfan syndrome

We report a neonate with severe Marfan syndrome (MS), prenatally identified to have persistent atrial tachycardia, biventricular dysfunction, and an unusual structure within the atria. Detailed postnatal echocardiographic evaluation and cross-sectional imaging confirmed congenital pseudoaneurysm of the mitral-aortic intervalvular fibrosa. Emergent testing by next-generation sequencing identified a FBN1 pathological variant, key to establishing goals of care. To our knowledge, this is the first reported case of a congenital pseudoaneurysm of the mitral-aortic intervalvular fibrosa in MS.
