An 11-year-old boy from Thanh Hoa province was taken recently to E Hospital in Hanoi because his family was concerned about his abnormal height and long fingers and toes, as well as a protruding chest.
The mother of the boy said he was healthy, but his limbs and height had grown at an abnormal rate. No other members in the family were that tall.
Dr Nguyen Dinh Lien, head of the Kidney Surgery – Urology and Andrology at E Hospital in Hanoi, said after the examination that the boy suffered from Marfan syndrome, a genetic disorder that affects connective tissue.
