We present the case of a patient admitted for an asymptomatic aortic dissection, complicated and extended to carotid arteries and iliac arteries in a young patient with clinical signs and a family history of Marfan syndrome who came to the emergency room for a sudden vision loss related to lens dislocation without any other associated signs, including no abdominal or thoracic pain or neurological or lower extremity symptoms and with a stable hemodynamic status, with specific morphological abnormalities specific to this syndrome and severe aortic insufficiency. The morality of our work is to show the importance of a the clinical examination of all patients who present clinical signs suggestive of Marfan syndrome during any consultation and the need for a very close follow-up in this population given to the morbidity and high mortality in case of complications.
