[Ehlers-Danlos syndrome type III and pregnancy: labor analgesia].
We report the use of obstetrical extradural analgesia in a primigravida with Ehlers-Danlos syndrome type III. Management focused on the possible vascular tissue involvement and the risk of bleeding during the access into the extradural space. The procedure was performed after ruling out the anomalies in the dermis and its vasculature.
