Neuro-ophthalmic manifestations of Ehlers-Danlos syndrome.

Purpose Of Review: To review the neuro-ophthalmic manifestations of Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (EDS).

Recent Findings: Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (EDS) is a rare genetic disorder with an estimated prevalence of 1 in 5000 individuals, but its true prevalence may be underestimated because of variable clinical presentations and limited awareness among healthcare professionals. The neuro-ophthalmic features of EDS may be difficult to recognize in context but new molecular genetic testing is now available for identification of specific subtypes of EDS.

Self-inflicted transorbital pontine stab injury with a retained pen.
