Key result
Marfan syndrome linked to psychiatric disorders and neuropsychological deficits, requiring multidisciplinary care.
Why the study?
Psychiatric disorders and neuropsychological deficits have been reported in Marfan syndrome, but findings are sparse and need summarization.
Highlights the importance of a multidisciplinary approach, including psychological and neuropsychological assessment, in the management of Marfan syndrome.
Supports multidisciplinary care with psychological assessment in Marfan syndrome; leaves open causality and intervention efficacy.
The cooccurrence of Marfan syndrome and psychiatric disorders has been reported for many years. Furthermore, neuropsychological deficits have been shown to be associated with Marfan syndrome. The aim of the present article is to summarize findings from the sparse studies and case reports available. The results hold clinical and therapeutic implications and suggest that psychological and neuropsychological domains in Marfan syndrome patients should be carefully assessed. In particular, some patients may require specific rehabilitation programs. On this basis, a multidisciplinary approach to Marfan syndrome treatment seems mandatory.
