Loeys-Dietz syndrome is a newly described entity characterised by a constellation of arterial tortuosity, cranial malformations, and hypertelorism. We report a case of a 7-year old boy with confirmed Loeys-Dietz syndrome and discuss magnetic resonance imaging as a complete technique for assessment and follow-up of aggressive vascular pathology in the brain, thorax, and abdomen, which may dictate early surgical intervention.

D008279	Magnetic Resonance Imaging	Non-invasive method of demonstrating internal anatomy based on the principle that atomic nuclei in a strong magnetic field absorb pulses of radiofrequency energy and emit them as radiowaves which can be reconstructed into computerized images. The concept includes proton spin tomographic techniques.

D055947	Loeys-Dietz Syndrome	An autosomal dominant aneurysm with multisystem abnormalities caused by increased TGF-BETA signaling due to mutations in type I or II of TGF-BETA RECEPTOR. Additional craniofacial features include CLEFT PALATE; CRANIOSYNOSTOSIS; HYPERTELORISM; or bifid uvula. Phenotypes closely resemble MARFAN SYNDROME; Marfanoid craniosynostosis syndrome (Shprintzen-Goldberg syndrome); and EHLERS-DANLOS SYNDROME.
