Abstract
Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, an inherited connective tissue disorder, is characterized by skin hyperextensibility, joint hypermobility and skin fragility. The disease is at least classified into 10 types, I to X, based on clinical features, biochemical abnormalities of the connective tissue and the mode of inheritance.
A case is reported of a 6-year,8-month-old girl who showed the features of the Ehlers-Danlos syndrome type VII.
