    What are common complications seen in a patient with Marfan syndrome?

    Explanation & Rationale

    A. Aortic dissection – Marfan syndrome is a genetic connective tissue disorder that weakens the walls of the aorta, increasing the risk for aortic aneurysm and dissection, which are life-threatening complications. B. Diabetes mellitus – Marfan syndrome is not associated with an increased risk for diabetes. C. Hypothyroidism – There is no direct link between Marfan syndrome and thyroid dysfunction. D. Osteoporosis – Although individuals with Marfan syndrome may have skeletal abnormalities, osteoporosis is not a common complication of the condition.
