[Perforation of small intestine diverticulum in Ehlers-Danlos syndrome].
We report a case of acute abdomen in a patient previously diagnosed of Ehlers-Danlos syndrome. The pneumoperitoneum on the chest x-ray demanded urgent operative intervention. Laparotomy revealed two diverticula perforations in the small bowel. Perforation in the colon is common; however only two cases of small bowel perforation have been reported so far.
