What are the signs and symptoms of Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, vascular type? The signs and symptoms of Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (EDS), vascular type vary but may include: Fragile tissues (including arteries, muscles and internal organs) that are prone to rupture Thin, translucent skin Characteristic facial appearance (thin lips, small chin, thin nose, large eyes) Acrogeria (premature aging of the skin of the hands and feet) Hypermobility of small joints (i.e. fingers and toes) Early-onset varicose veins Pneumothorax Easy bruising Joint dislocations and subluxations (partial dislocation) Congenital dislocation of the hips Congenital clubfoot Receding gums The Human Phenotype Ontology provides the following list of signs and symptoms for Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, vascular type. If the information is available, the table below includes how often the symptom is seen in people with this condition.

Much of this information comes from Orphanet, a European rare disease database. The frequency of a sign or symptom is usually listed as a rough estimate of the percentage of patients who have that feature. The frequency may also be listed as a fraction. The first number of the fraction is how many people had the symptom, and the second number is the total number of people who were examined in one study. For example, a frequency of 25/25 means that in a study of 25 people all patients were found to have that symptom. Because these frequencies are based on a specific study, the fractions may be different if another group of patients are examined. Sometimes, no information on frequency is available. In these cases, the sign or symptom may be rare or common. + GARD + Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, vascular type
