5. It Causes Spider Hands
Did you know that Marfan Syndrome causes something called spider hands? If you have never heard of it before then you should type it into your search engine and look at some photo’s of this symptom of the condition: To be more specific, people who have Marfan Syndrome often have hands and fingers that are longer than you would expect – much longer and thinner, leading to them being referred to as spider hands instead.
Marfan Syndrome can affect the hands in many ways other than causing them to have this long appearance, it also tends to cause arthritis as a symptom, so people with Marfan Syndrome should keep a very close eye on their health – and take care of especially their health and skeletal system. Spider hands is only one of the ways Marfan Syndrome can manifest in, but it’s a surefire sign and means you should see your doctor if you haven’t been diagnosed already.
