The case is reported of a 71 year old man diagnosed as having Type I Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, a condition associated with the premature development of osteoarthritis, who contracted poliomyelitis as a young man as a result of which he has developed asymmetrical osteoarthritis involving the limbs unaffected by the poliomyelitis. This observation lends further support to the hypothesis that an intact neural pathway may be necessary for the development of arthritis.
报道了一例71岁男性，被诊断为I型埃勒斯-当洛综合征，该疾病与骨关节炎的过早发生有关，该男子年轻时患过小儿麻痹症，结果导致他患上了不对称性骨关节炎，累及未受小儿麻痹症影响的肢体。这一观察结果进一步支持了以下假说：完整的神经通路对于关节炎的发展可能是必要的。
