Loeys-Dietz syndrome is a genetic connective tissue condition that carries a high risk of aortic aneurysm and dissection. It can also affect the spine and joints. An MRI may show changes in the aorta and surrounding structures consistent with this syndrome. Finding aortic changes associated with Loeys-Dietz syndrome early allows for monitoring and preventive surgery that may help prevent dissection.
