Abstract
Alport syndrome is often characterized by renal dysfunction and hearing loss due to abnormalities in type IV collagen production. In this study, we report a rare case of recurrent aortic dissections that developed in a young patient with Alport syndrome over a short period. We discuss the associations between Alport syndrome and aortic dissection with a literature review and emphasize the need for regular follow-up of patients with Alport syndrome for early detection of aortic disease.Entities:
