Baraitser-Winter syndrome is a very rare genetic disorder caused
by cytoplasmic actin-encoding genes defects. Although most
patients have similar phenotype, concomitant cardiac anomalies
widely vary. In addition to well-described congenital heart
diseases, aortic aneurysms occur due to underlying actin gene
mutation in these patients in the further years. Herein, we present
a 26-year-old male case who underwent Bentall procedure with
the diagnosis of new-onset aortic valve regurgitation and an
ascending aorta aneurysm.
