Le smagliature della pelle (striae distensae) possono manifestarsi in qualsiasi persona, in particolare a seguito di una crescita rapida durante l’adolescenza, durante la gravidanza o in caso di un importante aumento o calo di peso. Chi soffre di sindrome di Marfan ha una maggiore tendenza a sviluppare smagliature, spesso in giovane età e senza che siano intervenute variazioni di peso. Le smagliature compaiono solitamente in zone del corpo soggette a stress, come le spalle, le anche e la zona lombare.
