    Author: Harris SC, Slater DN, Austin CA.
    Journal: Postgrad Med J; 1985 Mar; 61(713):259-60. PubMed ID: 3983062.
    Abstract:
    A fatal case of Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (Type IV) is described. Autopsy revealed splenic rupture that had resulted from spontaneous haemorrhage into the splenic parenchyma. This is a previously unrecorded complication of Ehlers-Danlos syndrome and should be considered in the differential diagnosis of chest and abdominal pain in patients with this condition.
