Abstract

We report here, the case of a 13 year old boy who was admitted with features of mitral valve prolapse, bifid uvula and marfanoid features. Further evaluation revealed him to be a case of Loeys-Dietz Syndrome (LDS), a very rare heritable disorder of connective tissue. He was treated symptomatically and was discharged in reasonable good health.
