Multiple congenital aneurysms of unknown origin.
A case is reported of an 18-year-old man with a syndrome of multiple aneurysms of unknown origin. Several interventions were necessary over a 30-year-period, mainly for haemodynamic reasons or compression. A review of the literature revealed seven similar cases, two of which had Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome.
