Bilateral Aneurysms of the Axillary Arteries and Marfan's Syndrome.

Aneurysms of the arteries of the upper limbs represent a rare pathology. Apart from the risk of rupture and according to their localization, they can be responsible for nervous or venous compression, for embolism and for ischemia. Axillary localization is particularly rare apart from an iatrogenic context. Open surgery and more recently endovascular techniques can be proposed, but real guidelines are lacking. We report the case of a patient presenting a Marfan syndrome and bilateral axillary aneurysms, with symptoms on the right side due to a nervous compression responsible for paresthesia. Aneurysms were treated in 2 stages by open surgery, starting on the symptomatic side.
