Abstract

Background. The LoeysDietz syndrome is a rare autosomal dominant connective tissue disorder characterized by the pathology of the cardiovascular system in combination with various anomalies of the musculoskeletal system. In modern literature, there is neither any information about the frequency of pathology nor any algorithm of examination and treatment for patients with this syndrome. Clinical case. The article presents a clinical observation of a 7-year-old patient with LoeysDietz syndrome with a genetically confirmed diagnosis. Discussion. This article provided a literature review, examined diagnosis issues and differential diagnosis, and presented the clinical picture of the syndrome. The main symptoms of LoeysDietz syndrome are artery aneurysms (most often in the aortic root), arterial tortuosity (mainly the vessels of the neck), hypertelorism, and bifid (split) or broad uvula. However, the combination of these symptoms is not found in all patients with this disease. Conclusions. The article emphasized the importance of a genetic verification of the disease, as well as a multidisciplinary approach to treatment with mandatory dynamic monitoring by specialists such as a cardiologist, neurologist, orthopedist, and pediatrician, which help prevent the development of complications and increase the life expectancy of this group of patients.
