We’ve told you a lot about Marfan Syndrome so far and that’s probably a lot to take in at once. You might be wondering now what some of the more defined symptoms of Marfan Syndrome is so that you can spot it if it happens to you or someone you know. One of the first signs they use when checking for Marfan Syndrome is a raised palate; they also look for elongated fingers and hands, and an arm-span from side to side that’s more than a patient’s height.
There is also the wrist sign, which is known as being able to wrap the fingers around the wrist – though you might have to look that up on your search engine to have a better visual picture of what we mean. Some of the other symptoms that might come with Marfan Syndrome are near- or farsightedness, scoliosis (or more commonly known as curvature of the spine) and other issues with the body’s connective tissue, like arthritis.
