Doctors can also make potentially dangerous diagnostic mistakes regarding symptoms associated with Marfan Syndrome, a disorder affecting the body’s connective tissue. Part of the difficulty in properly diagnosing the indications of the condition is that they are sometimes mistaken for natural physical characteristics. For example, if you have Marfan Syndrome, you’re likely to be unusually tall with elongated arms, legs, and fingers. Other, more obvious symptoms include curvature of the spine and heart problems. However, even when physical symptoms seem harmless, if Marfan Syndrome goes undiagnosed and is not treated, severe cardiovascular problems could develop including aortic rupture.
