Melanie Case

Today we’re going to hear from Melanie Case, who was diagnosed with Marfan syndrome in 2002, a couple years after she had a thoracic aortic dissection following the delivery of her second child. This aortic dissection went undiagnosed for about two years, and after it was discovered, it led to her diagnosis with Marfan syndrome.

Extremely informative.. What a very lucky woman to have survived childbirth and then the dissection with aneurysm for two years; wow!
