6 Types of EDS.....

There are 6 types of EDS — all the types share some common features such as loose joints, abnormal skin and fragile body tissues, but are unique in their own way.

The different types of Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (EDS) is as follows:

Classical :- The skin is stretchy, soft, fragile and elastic with  loose and flexible joints.

Hypermobility :- The joints are noticeably loose, flexible and sometimes painful, particularly after exercise. Unlike other types of EDS, the skin is virtually normal except for easy bruising.

Vascular :- Vascular type is the most severe form as in this types of cases organs and blood vessels can easily burst.

Kyphoscoliotic :- The spine is severely curved in childhood. 

Arthrochalasia :- This type of EDS causes short stature, fragile skin and joints that easily dislocate.

Dermatospraxis :- The skin is doughy and wrinkly and tends to sag and fold. This type of EDS is exceptionally rare, probably affecting fewer than 5 patients in the UK. 

Another type of EDS has been found —

Periodontal :- This form is similar to classical types of EDS but also causes very fragile gums.
