The Ehlers-Danlos syndrome is a hereditary connective tissue disease. The clinical picture is marked by hyperelasticity of the skin, hypermobile joints, and fragility of capillaries and tissues. Since there is no specific therapy available, diagnosis and counseling are of great importance to those affected. The second edition of this textbook is intended to provide physicians with an up-to-date practical road map for managing this condition.
