E hlers-Danlos syndrome (EDS) is a hereditary collagen disease presenting primarily as dermatological and joint disorders. [cda-adc.ca]

• Easy Bruising

  Tissue fragility including atrophic scars and easy bruising may be seen. Spontaneous arterial rupture can easily occur. Other findings may include: marfanoid habitus; microcornea; and radiologically considerable osteopenia. [ehlersdanlos.ca]

  Easy bruising is common. Joint hypermobility is the primary clinical manifestation. [nature.com]

  Signs and Symptoms of Vascular EDS The signs and symptoms of vascular EDS vary by patient; however, easy bruising, even after sustaining only minor trauma, is a common finding. 2,3 Patients with this condition may have soft skin that appears thin and [raredr.com]

• Failure to Thrive

  The disease can present with low birth weight, and subsequent failure to thrive, with small stature and low weight. [annsaudimed.net]

• Translucent Skin

• Delayed Wound Healing

  The classic type of EDS has the hallmark skin hyperextensibility, joint hypermobility, and easy bruisability, along with fragile and velvety soft skin and delayed wound healing with exaggerated scar formation. [edsers.com]

  wound healing Kyphoscoliotic EDS Kyphoscoliotic EDS (kEDS) is rare. [nhs.uk]

  Wounds take a longer time to heal and stretching of scars after apparently successful primary wound healing is characteristic. Scars become wide, with a “cigarette-paper”-like or papyraceous appearance ( Fig. 2 ). [nature.com]

• Muscle Hypotonia

  Kyphoscoliosis Type Generalized joint laxity and severe muscle hypotonia at birth are seen in this type of EDS. Muscular hypotonia can be very pronounced and leads to delayed gross motor development. [ehlersdanlos.ca]

  Major criteria are: Congenital muscle hypotonia, and/or muscle atrophy, that improves with age; Proximal joint contractures (knee, hip and elbow); and Hypermobility of distal joints. There are four minor criteria. [ehlers-danlos.com]

  Myopathic type is characterized by muscle hypotonia, muscle atrophy, joint contractures and hypermobility of distal joints. Periodontal type is characterized by periodontitis, lack of attached gingival and pretibial plaques. [xpertdox.com]

  Keratoconus, blue sclerae, dislocated lens, retinal detachment or angoid streaks were not observed. Conclusions: Ocular manifestations of EDS were mainly dry eye syndrome, myopia, strabism and hyperextensible eye lids. [dog.org]
