title: Ventricular septal aneurysm in a case of Ehlers-Danlos syndrome.
abstract: Cardiac abnormalities are a recognised feature of connective tissue disorders. We report a case of Ehlers-Danlos syndrome associated with an aneurysm of the membranous ventricular septum and mitral valve prolapse. To our knowledge this is the first reported association of Ehlers-Danlos syndrome and ventricular septal aneurysm.
