To describe ocular findings in a patient with Type VI Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (EDS) and make ophthalmologists aware of the potential ophthalmic complications of this particular type of EDS. To briefly report the surgical technique utilized for the repair of spontaneous scleral rupture that may be associated with Type VI Ehlers-Danlos syndrome.
A 36-year-old female visited the Emergency Room due to sudden vision loss, edema, and redness of the right eye consistent with spontaneous scleral rupture secondary to scleral thinning due to Type VI EDS. Repair with scleral patch graft resulted in improvement in visual acuity, a decrease in hyphema, and discomfort resolution.
Spontaneous scleral perforation may occur in patients with Type VI EDS. A scleral patch graft may serve as a viable surgical repair alternative for such patients.
描述一名患有Ⅵ型埃勒斯-当洛综合征（EDS）患者的眼部检查结果，并使眼科医生认识到这种特殊类型的EDS潜在的眼科并发症。简要报告用于修复可能与Ⅵ型埃勒斯-当洛综合征相关的自发性巩膜破裂的手术技术。
一名36岁女性因右眼突然视力丧失、水肿和发红就诊于急诊室，症状与Ⅵ型EDS导致巩膜变薄继发的自发性巩膜破裂相符。巩膜补片移植修复术后视力提高，前房积血减少，不适症状缓解。
Ⅵ型EDS患者可能发生自发性巩膜穿孔。巩膜补片移植可为这类患者提供可行的手术修复选择。
