摘要:
We report a sporadic case of type-IV Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS) in a woman presenting with a spontaneous carotid-cavernous fistula. This complication was treated successfully by endovascular treatment (EVT) with long-term relief. Analysis of collagens synthesized by the patient''s dermal fibroblasts in culture showed impaired secretion of abnormally slow, electrophoretically migrating type-III collagen, suggesting an underlying defect in the COL3A1 gene. The clinical features of type IV EDS and the outcome of EVT are reviewed.
