Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (EDS) is a group of well described connective tissue disorders in which collagen production is impaired. The surgical management of affected individuals remains challenging, with no general consensus. We report a case of spontaneous sigmoid perforation in a 17-year-old Eurasian male, in whom we subsequently established the diagnosis of EDS type IV (EDS-IV). We review the literature to discuss the clinical features and diagnosis, and the recommended therapeutic management. |
