Case report A 12-year-old girl presented to the Department of Dermatology at The Cleveland Clinic Foundation in January 1982, with a history of delayed wound healing, easy bruisability, and double-jointedness.[mdedge.com]
Other symptoms, similar to hypermobility type, may include easybruising, 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 easybruising can often overlap with other forms of EDS.[uwcpdx.org]
Ehlers-Danlos syndromes are a group of disorders which share common features including easybruising, joint hypermobility (loose joints), skin that stretches easily (skin hyperelasticity or laxity), and weakness of tissues.[medicinenet.com]
Easybruising is common. Joint hypermobility is the primary clinical manifestation.[nature.com]

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]
