ABSTRACT
We report two patients who presented with extensive aneurysmal disease, in association with minimal external physical signs. Patient 1 remained genetically undiagnosed despite multiple structural, biochemical and genetic investigations. He made a good recovery following surgery for popliteal and left axillary artery aneurysms. Patient 2 was diagnosed with vascular type Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, associated with a high degree of tissue and blood vessel fragility, and is being managed conservatively. Early multidisciplinary assessment of such patients facilitates accurate diagnosis and management.
