          Abstract

          Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (EDS) is a rare connective tissue disorder characterized by tissue fragility, translucent skin and joint hypermobility. Patients with the vascular type of EDS are prone to spontaneous arterial and visceral rupture. Pregnancy for women with vascular EDS can be life-threatening. Mortality rates are high due to the increased risk for uterine and arterial rupture in the peripartum period.
