May warrant aortic surveillance in adult WAS survivors; hypothesis-generating for vasculitis as late sequela.
Case Report (n=1)
Large vessel vasculitis leading to critical aortic dilatation may be an increasingly recognized late complication of Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome.
D J Unsworth S L Johnston (2001) conducted a case report in Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome (n=1). Aortic valve and root replacement was evaluated. A 21-year-old male with Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome developed critical aortic root dilatation and severe aortic regurgitation requiring aortic valve and root replacement due to chronic aortitis.
