ABSTRACT

Abstract

Ehlers-Danlos syndrome is a rare clinical condition caused by a genetic change that results in the formation of structurally or functionally altered collagen. The clinical manifestations are varied, being the most obvious skin hypermotility and increased joint flexibility, although other systems - such as cardiovascular, respiratory and neurological - may also be affected. This paper presents the report of a patient who sought medical attention with complaints of atypical chest pain. Clinical evaluation enabled hypothetical diagnosis of hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy and Ehlers-Danlos syndrome. Initial electrocardiogram, echocardiogram and 24 hours holter allowed the confirmation of the first hypothesis. A skin biopsy performed later associated clinical data and confirmed the second hypothesis.

Sus manifestaciones clínicas, alteraciones genéticas y anomalías bioquímicas, han permitido clasificar diez formas clínicas de la enfermedad. Hay casos que no es posible clasificar en los grupos descritos, como el caso que se reporta, con manifestaciones graves de la enfermedad.
