Abstract

Gastrointestinal pathology in adult patients with Marfan Syndrome is rarely reported in literature. Nevertheless, it could be life threatening when it occurs. In our paper, we are presenting the first reported case of caecal volvulus in an adult patient with Marfan Syndrome, our findings and management. We also discuss the more common radiological findings that may enhance decision making amongst surgical clinicians. A high index of suspicion and a multidisciplinary approach is advised when encountering these group of patients.
