title: Ehlers-Danlos syndrome in the parturient: an uncommon disorder--common dilemma in the delivery room.
abstract: METHODS
  Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (EDS) is a rare genetically transmitted connective tissue disorder, non-specific to pregnancy.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Because of multi-organ involvement and the varied presentations of this disease, no uniform obstetric and anesthetic recommendations regarding the peripartum care of these parturients can be made.
