- Arachnodactyly (long slender fingers & toes) and other skeletal abnormalities (e.g. pectus excavatum, kyphoscoliosis).
- Retinal detachment.
- Fibrillin-1 defect.[1]
- Aortic aneurysm / aortic dissection.[2]
- Neurologic - dural ectasia.[3]
Microscopic
- Aortic aneurysm - see: cystic medial degeneration.
