Ehlers Danlos is also known as...

Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (EDS) is a group of genetic disorders that affect the connective tissues in the body. Connective tissues provide support and structure to various organs, joints, and blood vessels. EDS is characterized by a defect in the production, processing, or structure of collagen, which is a major component of connective tissues.



There are several types of EDS, each with its own set of symptoms and complications. Some common synonyms or alternative names for Ehlers-Danlos syndrome include:




  • EDS: This is the commonly used abbreviation for Ehlers-Danlos syndrome.

  • Ehlers-Danlos Disease: This term is sometimes used interchangeably with Ehlers-Danlos syndrome.

  • EDS Hypermobility Type: This specific type of EDS is characterized by joint hypermobility, loose skin, and chronic pain.

  • EDS Classical Type: This type of EDS is characterized by skin hyperextensibility, joint hypermobility, and increased risk of joint dislocations.

  • EDS Vascular Type: This is the most severe and potentially life-threatening type of EDS, as it affects blood vessels and can lead to arterial or organ rupture.

  • EDS Kyphoscoliotic Type: This type of EDS is characterized by severe curvature of the spine (kyphoscoliosis) and muscle weakness.

  • EDS Arthrochalasia Type: This rare type of EDS is characterized by joint hypermobility, skin hyperextensibility, and congenital hip dislocation.



It is important to note that EDS is a complex condition, and individuals with EDS may experience a combination of symptoms from different types. The severity of symptoms can also vary widely among individuals.



If you suspect you or someone you know may have EDS, it is crucial to consult with a healthcare professional for proper diagnosis and management of the condition.

Ehlers-Danlos syndrome or EDS is the usual name. Some doctors use the outdated name "hypermobility syndrome", which now refers to a large group of disorders.
