Marfanoid syndrome, da Silva type is characterized by the association of marfanoid habitus with visceral diverticula. It has been reported in four adults and two siblings from a consanguineous marriage in two different publications. Pediatric cases also presented with diaphragmatic hernia. Other connective tissue disorders with visceral diverticula have been reported previously, suggesting a relationship between these two conditions.
