Abstract

Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome is a rare X-linked disease, associated with immunodeficiency, infections, thrombocytopaenia, and eczema. Aortitis and formation of aneurysms have also been described. We describe here our experience with a 7-year-boy with this syndrome. He survived replacement of the aortic root because of an aneurysmal ascending aorta, and subsequent bone marrow transplantation.
