- Abstract
The Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (EDS) is an inherited disorder of connective tissue clinically identified more than a century ago by dermatologists. Later, rheumatologists and geneticists got involved in their description. Despite its high frequency, EDS is an underdiagnosed condition due to the lack of knowledge of its clinical presentation. Erroneously, EDS is generally described insisting on spectacular aspects such as skin hyperextensibility and excessive contortions, and the multisystemic manifestations that really composing the clinical picture, and that severely affect the physical and psychological health of those who suffer are neglected. The history of EDS has known a paradoxical fate. Knowing these historical aspects can help understand the current lack of recognition of this clinical entity and to raise awareness among health professionals of the importance of their diagnosis.
