“…Especially, aneurysm of distal to the subclavian artery is extremely rare and reported only in 3 cases, as 2 of the axillary-subclavian artery aneurysm and one of the ulnar artery aneurysm. [22][23][24] As far as we know, this is the first report of the radial artery aneurysm in the patient with a Marfan syndrome. However, the obvious findings that were characteristic of Marfan syndrome such as cystic medionecrosis were not recognized histologically.…”

“…8 Only case reports of subclavian artery aneurysms related to Marfan syndrome exist in the literature [4][5][6]9,10 Patients can present with ischemic complications related to thrombosis or embolization. Rupture is rare, being seen in only two of 31 patients in the series of Pairolero et al 8 Compression-related symptoms can include upper extremity motor and sensory deficits, respiratory distress, hoarseness, Horner syndrome, and dysphagia.…”

“…5 Axillary artery aneurysms in Marfan syndrome are quite rare, and only 3 cases have been reported, including only one case of bilateral aneurysms. 4,6,7 Axillary artery aneurysms incur thromboembolism with ischemia of the upper limbs, pain, nerve compression disorders, and finally rupture. In our patient, there was no ischemia or neurological disorder, only a sense of pulsation.…”
