Abstract:
Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (EDS) comprises a group of rare connective tissue disorders marked by multisystem involvement and considerable clinical variability. This report presents two cases of young individuals with complex medical histories involving joint hypermobility, musculoskeletal deformities, ocular abnormalities, and unexplained cardiovascular symptoms. Both cases were initially misclassified under more common subtypes of EDS. However, comprehensive clinical evaluation and application of updated classification criteria led to a re-evaluation of the initial diagnoses. These cases highlight the diagnostic challenges posed by EDS and emphasize the need for heightened clinical suspicion and systematic assessment when encountering atypical presentations.
