Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome(EDS) Hereditary connective tissue disorder (autosomal

dominant or recessive traits) Prevalence: 1/10000 to 1/25000 20,000-50,000 EDS patients in the US

Signs/Symptoms Joint hypermobility Skin hyperextensibility Tissue fragility Pain

Classification Of EDS Six subtypes of EDS

Classical Vascular Hypermobility Kyphoscoliotic Arthrochalasia Dermatosparaxis

Vascular Type Of EDS Vascular type EDS, 5% of all EDS cases

Deficiency of collagen type III Decreased/absent collagen synthesis or abnormalities in collagen secretion

Poor prognosis Most severe subtype Life threatening vascular ruptures Aneurysm formationAly Abayazeed, Vascular type Ehlers-Danlos syndrome with fatal spontaneous rupture of a right common iliac artery dissection: case report and review of literature. J Radiol Case Rep.2014 Feb;8(2):63-69.

EDS Diagnosis Classification and diagnosis of EDS is difficult Diagnosis

Clinical symptoms: Beighton Score, Brighton/Villefranche criteria

Laboratory studies Qualitative and quantitative testing of collagen subtypes

Genetic mutation analysis Positive family history

EDS Management Patient education

Prevention and early recognition of injuries/complications

Monitoring & Interventions Particular manifestations Complications with each forms of EDS Medical alert device

No medical treatments

EDS Management-Joint Protection Principle of management:

Optimize function, relieve symptoms, and prevent injury

Joint protection and function Preserve and protect joint function Prevent recurrent joint dislocations, chronic joint

pain and early onset of osteoarthritis Swimming, walking, and taichi Vitamin C 500 mg daily Avoid carrying items weighing> 5 lbs

EDS Management-Pain Management Chronic musculoskeletal pain, resembles fibromyalgia Associated with joint damage, with neuropathic

features Acetaminophen NSAIDs (avoid in patient with easy bruising) Opioid medications (controversial) Ice on the joints Meditation/relaxation techniques

EDS Management-Skin Fragility/Bruising

Protective bandages/pads over exposed areas

Avoid heavy exercise, contact sports Avoid aspirin, NSAIDs, anticoagulants Recommend Vitamin C, 1-4 g daily in

adults, it shows decrease bruising and improve wound healing

EDS Management-Bleeding Disorders Vasopressin analogue, desmopressin

(DDAVP) Tranexamic acid Recombinant FVIIa Avoid drugs that interfere with hemostatic

process(ASA, NSAIDs, anticoagulants) Avoid invasive vascular procedures

whenever possible Ultrasound guidance if it is unavoidable to

central venous catheterizationThomas wilesmann, Marco Castori. Recommendations for anesthesia and perioperative management in patients with Ehlers-Danlos syndrome. Orphanet J Rare Dis. 2014;9:109

Monitoring Non-invasive monitoring Cardiovascular disease Ophthalmology Spine disease Individualized depending on the

severity of disease and specific manifestations , tailored to the type of EDS
