Kyphoscoliotic Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (kEDS) is a rare genetic disorder combining congenital hypotonia, congenital/early onset and progressive kyphoscoliosis, and generalized joint hypermobility. Vascular fragility is another characteristic of the disease rarely described. We report a severe case of kEDS-PLOD1 with several vascular complications leading to difficulties in disease management.
