Hi doctors any resolution for the Ehlers–Danlos syndrome ?
Mar 16, 2013

Dr. Ivana Dabaj Pediatric Neurology
Ehlers-Danlos syndrome is an inherited disorder that is transmitted from parents to their kids and sometimes it can sporadic (a case that doesn't run in the family). There are different types.
The treatment is symptomatic and so treated according to the particular manifestations:
- skin protection from trauma
- careful wounds therapy and prevention of infections- suturing can be difficult
- joint injury must be avoided
- we encourage exercises to strengthen the muscles and support the joints
- sometimes bracing to minimize joint mouvement if necessary
- avoid contact sports
