Giant epiphrenic diverticulum in a boy with Ehlers-Danlos syndrome.
We treated a 12 year old boy with Ehlers-Danlos syndrome. There were multiple diverticula in the oesophagus, stomach, colon and urinary bladder. Most prominent was the giant epiphrenic diverticulum of the oesophagus, a rare finding as a complication of Ehlers-Danlos syndrome.
