We present a case of Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS) type IV with associated neuromuscular manifestations. The patient presented with nonspecific myopathic-type symptoms and later developed a spontaneous median mononeuropathy in the forearm. We believe that the case presented here complements current published neuromuscular manifestations occurring in EDS IV patients and illustrates the urgency of making the diagnosis, given the increased mortality associated with EDS IV.
我们报告一例伴有相关神经肌肉表现的IV型埃勒斯-当洛综合征(EDS)。该患者最初表现为非特异性肌病样症状,随后在前臂出现自发性正中单神经病。我们认为,本文所报告的病例补充了目前已发表的EDS IV患者出现的神经肌肉表现,并鉴于与EDS IV相关的死亡率增加,说明了做出诊断的紧迫性。
