Although catastrophic vascular complications in vascular Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS) are well recognized, other complications such as flexion contractures and tendon nodules are rarely reported and poorly characterized. We report a young man with vascular EDS, who developed flexion contractures and tendon nodules, causing considerable disability. Limited management strategies are available for these complications, which have continued to prove a challenge to management.
尽管血管型埃勒斯-当洛斯综合征(EDS)的灾难性血管并发症已得到充分认识,但其他并发症,如屈肌挛缩和肌腱结节,很少被报道,也缺乏特征描述。我们报告了一例血管型 EDS 年轻患者,其出现屈肌挛缩和肌腱结节,导致严重残疾。这些并发症的治疗策略有限,且一直是治疗的挑战。
