title: [Temporomandibular joint luxation and Ehlers-Danlos disease. Apropos of a case].
abstract: First described by Tschernogobow in 1981, Ehlers-Danlos syndrome is usually observed in white males. Symptoms results from defective collagen synthesis. Diagnosis is based on clinical presentation. There are 9 different clinical groups. Maxillofacial manifestations are usually seen in type VIII Ehlers-Danlos syndrome. The clinical case presented here illustrates the problems involving the temporomandibular joints and focuses on an assessment of proposed therapeutic options.
