Does marfan syndrome affect the brain?

No: Marfan syndrome affects the eyes and damages one's vision, and the syndrome affects the lining of the spinal cord, but it typically does not cause brain problems.

Brain aneurysms: Marfan'a syndrome can cause increased elasticity in brain vessels which can lead to the formation of brain aneurysms. It may be something to get a screening test, like an mra, for reassurance.
