    Author: Goldstein M, Miller R.
    Journal: Reg Anesth; 1997; 22(3):280-3. PubMed ID: 9168222.
    Abstract:
    BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, an inherited connective tissue disease, is rarely seen in pregnancy. Presentation may be mild or severe, depending on which type of the syndrome the patient possesses. METHODS: A 38-year-old woman with Ehlers-Danlos syndrome type II presented for cesarean delivery at 34 weeks' gestation with premature rupture of membranes and breech presentation. RESULTS: A subarachnoid block was chosen to provide surgical anesthesia. No adverse side effects or complications developed. CONCLUSION: In patients with Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, it is important to be aware of which type is present and to be knowledgeable about and prepared for any potential complications.
