Two patients considered to be examples of the Type IV or "arterial" variety of the Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS) are presented. In case 1 there seems to be little doubt about the diagnosis. Case 2, which is currently under treatment also appears to be an example of EDS, Type IV. The multiple arterial aneurysms and the findings on the skin biopsy appear to substantiate the diagnosis. These two cases demonstrate some of the features of the Type IV variety of EDS. In the first case visceral artery aneurysms dominated the clinical picture and in the second case peripheral arterial aneurysms were dominant. In neither case were the classical manifestations of the disorder, skin hyperelasticity and joint hypermobility, prominent.
本文介绍了两名被认为是埃勒斯-当洛综合征（EDS）IV型或“动脉型”的患者。在病例1中，诊断似乎毫无疑问。目前正在接受治疗的病例2似乎也是EDS IV型的一个例子。多发性动脉瘤和皮肤活检结果似乎证实了这一诊断。这两个病例展示了EDS IV型的一些特征。在第一个病例中，内脏动脉瘤主导了临床表现，而在第二个病例中，周围动脉瘤占主导地位。在这两个病例中，该疾病的典型表现，即皮肤过度弹性和关节过度活动，都不明显。
