Presentation
The presently reported ultrastructural findings are in line with such concept. The present study represents the first attempt using skin ultrastruture for distinguishing EDSH and JHS from FM. [omicsonline.org]

Easy Bruising
Symptoms - Ehlers-Danlos syndrome type 2 * Narrow maxilla * Velvety skin * Hyperextensible skin * Fragile skin * Poor skin wound healing * Small moveable subcutaneous spherules * Hypermobile hands * Hypermobile feet * Flat feet * Easy bruising * Mitral [checkorphan.org]
Other symptoms, similar to hypermobility type, may include easy bruising, joints that dislocate easily, joint pain, fatigue, and muscle cramping. There is no cure for classical type EDS; it is a life-long condition that requires close monitoring. [diseaseinfosearch.org]
Possible diagnosis of EDS type VIII: Clinical features of EDS VIII such as hyperextensible joints, atrophic scarring, and easy bruising can often overlap with other forms of EDS. [uwcpdx.org]
Ehlers-Danlos syndromes are a group of disorders which share common features including easy bruising, joint hypermobility (loose joints), skin that stretches easily (skin hyperelasticity or laxity), and weakness of tissues. [medicinenet.com]
Easy bruising is common. Joint hypermobility is the primary clinical manifestation. [nature.com]

If you or your child has been diagnosed with classical type EDS, talk to your doctor about the most current treatment options. A genetic counselor can be helpful to discuss inheritance and risks to other family members. [diseaseinfosearch.org]
Prognosis

Prognosis is heavily dependant on the type or classification of EDS that the patient has. Severe cases can be fatal but for the most part these individuals live a normal average life. [ehlersdanlossyndrome.org]
The best treatment depends on the prognosis and current situation of the child. [f1000research.com]
Due to different clinical symptoms, natural history and prognosis, EDS type IV should be assessed separately within the group of EDS. [ojrd.biomedcentral.com]
Prognosis in the Ehlers Danlos syndromes [ 7 ] Prognosis will vary with the type and the severity. Lifespan is usually normal, with the exception of the vascular type. [patient.info]

Genetic and molecular basis similar to EDSH might be considered as eventual candidates for the FM etiology. Distinctive clinical criteria for EDSH and FM remain crude and unsettled. Microscopy does not distinguish both conditions. [omicsonline.org]
The usual medical culture perceives a disease as an entity that has an etiological basis, which presents a characteristic clinical picture, and which requires appropriate treatment. [avensonline.org]
Ongoing controversies regarding etiology, diagnosis, treatment Neurosurgical complications, including Chiari malformation, craniocervical instability and cervical instability, as well as occult tethered cord, have only recently been associated with Ehlers-Danlos [clinicaladvisor.com]
Epidemiology
A brief history of the disease is presented along with the epidemiology and characteristics of the 8 main phenotypes of the syndrome. [cda-adc.ca]
Epidemiology Frequency International Worldwide, more than 1.5 million people are diagnosed with Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (EDS). EDS (all types combined) is reported to have a 1 in 5,000-10,000 population frequency. [emedicine.medscape.com]

Epidemiology of Ehlers-Danlos syndromes [ 4 ] Prevalence of EDS is usually quoted as about 1/5,000 for all types, with hEDS hypermobility type accounting for about half of all registered cases: however, hEDS is an underdiagnosed condition; a frequency [patient.info]
Epidemiology The Ehlers-Danlos syndromes are a group of hereditary disorders of connective tissue, whose prevalence is estimated between 1/10,000 and 1/25,000, with no ethnic predisposition. [ojrd.biomedcentral.com]
Pathophysiology
Reflections on the pathophysiology We estimate that the alteration in proprioception plays a large part in the clinical manifestation of EDS. [symbiosisonlinepublishing.com]

As veins and arteries can be more fragile in EDS, keeping blood pressure down can help prevent complications and ruptures. [belmarrahealth.com]
