Spinal deformity in Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (EDS) is an important symptom that can lead to trunk balance deterioration, respiratory dysfunction, and digestive disorders as the deformity progresses, thereby reducing a patient's quality of life and activities of daily living. The severity of the deformity varies widely, with treatment depending on the extent and the presence of associated complications. The present review addressed the current state of clinical research and treatment of spinal deformities in EDS with a specific focus on the musculocontractural type. Further studies are needed to better understand the underlying mechanisms of spinal deformity in EDS.
埃勒斯-当洛斯综合征(EDS)的脊柱畸形是一种重要的症状,随着畸形的进展,可导致躯干平衡恶化、呼吸功能障碍和消化功能紊乱,从而降低患者的生活质量和日常活动能力。畸形的严重程度差异很大,治疗取决于畸形的程度和是否存在相关并发症。本综述针对 EDS 脊柱畸形的临床研究和治疗现状进行了探讨,重点关注肌营养不良型。需要进一步的研究来更好地理解 EDS 脊柱畸形的潜在机制。
