Rare vascular complications in classical Ehlers-Danlos syndromes.
BMJ Case Rep
January 2025
Medical Department, Lyell McEwin Hospital, Elizabeth Vale, South Australia, Australia.
Ehlers-Danlos syndromes (EDS) are a group of connective tissue disorders associated with skin, ligament, blood vessel and organ abnormalities. Skin hyperextensibility, joint hypermobility and widened atrophic scars are characteristic of classical EDS. Vascular complications, though rare in classical EDS, can be life-threatening, and this necessitates one to look for vascular associations in non-vascular, such as classical, forms of EDS due to the heterogeneity of the syndrome.

Spontaneous hemopneumothorax (SHP) is the spontaneous accumulation of both blood and air within the pleural space without any previous medical or trauma history. Despite its rare existence, it is one of the most life-threatening conditions seen in the emergency department. Even though SHP is an uncommon presentation, early recognition and prompt intervention are essential because of its rapidly deteriorating nature leading to respiratory distress and hemodynamic instability.

Catamenial Pneumothorax is a rare condition often associated with endometriosis in menstruating women. Due to the rarity of this condition, its etiology is not well studied and, thus, effective treatment regimens have not been well established. We present a case of a 21-year-old female with no significant past medical history who developed recurrent episodes of spontaneous pneumothorax, chronologically associated with her menstrual cycle.
