Join Dr Alice Leahy and Marisa McMillan in their wide ranging discussion about EDS, hypermobility syndrome, arthritis, factors affecting how people perceive pain, and possible reasons why EDS has become more prominent on social media recently. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Pearls include: The Beighton Score: not very useful in the local paediatric population and is not validated. ---- Ehlers Danlos Syndrome (EDS) is a collection of collagen disorders 13 subtyes of EDS, 12 of which have known genetic mutations and histopathological changes, the 13th - neither genetic nor histopathological changes, otherwise known as hypermobility EDS. ----The 3 types worth remembering are: ☆Vascular type EDS - very rare - usually present to genetics depts rather than to rheumatology department - FH vascular rupture, Distinctive facial characteristics. ☆☆Classical type EDS. Also rare. Extremely hypermobile. Excessively stretchy skin. Can pull skin out from forearm 6cm (upper range of normal 2cm) Autosomal dominant. Often very bruised with plentiful scarring on body. ☆☆☆Hypermobility type EDS: Beighton score of >6 pre-pubescent children; >4 in pubescent children ------ Joint pain is not a good indicator of inflammatory arthritis. ♡♡♡JIA usually presents with very little pain. Arthritis will present with joint swelling. If arthritis is suspected, request an ultrasound. A normal USS will exclude inflammatory disease.
