Parsonage-Turner Syndrome and Closed-Incision Negative-Pressure Wound Therapy After Total Hip Arthroplasty in a Case of Marfan Syndrome
2022, Arthroplasty TodayCitation Excerpt :Despite the defect in the fibrillin-1 gene, MFS patients have normal skin texture and elasticity [12], and poor wound healing is not a typical feature of Marfan, as opposed to Loeys-Dietz syndrome or some types of Ehlers-Danlos syndrome [16]. Although not a common concerning issue, there have been reports of poor wound healing in MFS patients after repair of pectus excavatum, herniorrhaphy, and cleft palate [17-19]. However, no report of poor wound healing in MFS after THA, as in our case, was found in the literature.
Association between pectus excavatum and congenital genetic disorders: A systematic review and practical guide for the treating physician
2021, Journal of Pediatric SurgeryCitation Excerpt :Following eligibility assessment, 119 full text articles were included in the systematic review (Fig. 1). Study characteristics are presented in Table 1 [17–137] and more detailed study chracteristics are presented in Appendix C. Sixteen uncontrolled cohort studies, 46 case series and 57 case reports have been included, representing 20 different congenital genetic disorders and 487 patients with PE and an underlying genetic disorder. Genetic disorders have been diagnosed through either genetic molecular analysis (n = 51 studies) or clinical features and family history (n = 23 studies).
Marfan Syndrome and Related Disorders
2013, Emery and Rimoin's Principles and Practice of Medical GeneticsMinimally invasive repair of pectus excavatum in patients with Marfan syndrome and marfanoid features
2010, Journal of Pediatric SurgeryCitation Excerpt :This limited research suggests that Marfan syndrome patients have suboptimal postoperative outcomes compared with their non-Marfan counterparts. Arn et al [8] reported moderately severe recurrence in 11 of 28 patients with Marfan syndrome that was associated with lack of temporary internal stabilization and young age at time of initial repair. Multiple surgical techniques were used in their series, which may have further impacted their outcomes.
Chest Pain and Chest Wall Deformity
2009, Pediatric Clinics of North AmericaCitation Excerpt :Also, a severe pectus deformity, in association with scoliosis or lordosis may compromise the patient's respiratory status by reducing lung capacity in children with Marfan syndrome. Because of these potential problems, Arn and colleagues37 recommends surgical repair of pectus excavatum in patients with Marfan syndrome after the patient becomes skeletally mature (LOE 3). Patients with Marfan syndrome may present with chest pain because the connective tissue defect puts them at risk for spontaneous pneumothorax.
