RESUMEN
El Síndrome de Ehlers-Danlos tipo III (SED-III), también llamado Síndrome de Hiperlaxitud Articular (SHA), es una enfermedad de los tejidos conectivos, muy frecuente y poco diagnosticada. Es debido a una alteración genética del colágeno que genera lesiones músculo-esqueléticas y extra-esqueléticas (hernias, várices, prolapso genital o rectal, miopía). Frecuentemente produce disautonomia en mujeres adolescentes, osteoporosis y osteoartritis precoz en ambos sexos. En este artículo hacemos un detallado análisis de los síntomas y signos que permiten sospechar el diagnóstico, recalcando la importancia de identificar la facies típica del SHA, lo que con experiencia es tan fácil como reconocer una persona con Síndrome de Down. Se destaca también la necesidad de usar el nombre de Ehlers-Danlos tipo III en vez de Síndrome de Hiperlaxitud Articular (SHA).
ABSTRACT
Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS-III), also called Joint Hypermobility Syndrome (JHS), is a connective tissue disease extremely frequent and usually undiagnosed. It is due to a genetic alteration of the collagen, generating musculoskeletal as well as extra-skeletal manifestations (hernias, varicose veins, genital and rectal prolapse, myopia). It causes dysautonomia, frequently in young adolescents girls, as well as osteoporosis and early osteoarthritis in both sexes. In this study, we make a detailed analysis of the manifestations and symptoms that permit a diagnostic suspicion, stressing the importance of being able to identify the typical JHS facies, which, with experience, is as easy to recognize as a person with Down Syndrome. We also stress the need to use the term Ehlers-Danlos type III (EDS-III), rather than Joint Hypermobility Syndrome (JHS).
