✦ Synopsis

IN 1896 Marfan described the skeletal features of the syndrome which bears his name. It is now recognized that the three cardinal manifestations of the full Marfan syndrome are: (I) skeletal, characterized by arachnodactyly and laxity of ligaments; (2) ocular, characterized by dislocation of the lens (Boerger, I914), with myopia and retinal detachment as associated defects ; and (3) cardiovascular, charac-
