The purpose of this work is to improve the basis upon which advice on pregnancy is given to women with Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (EDS) and to address issues of obstetric management by drawing upon the accumulated world experience. Although, overall, pregnancy in EDS is well tolerated, with good outcomes, the rate of maternal and perinatal complications is higher and every pregnancy in these women remains a high-risk pregnancy. The obstetrical outcomes are influenced by the type of EDS and the specific underlying abnormalities. The older numeric classification of EDS has been largely abandoned and it was replaced by the 2017 descriptive international classification. Based on this new classification, we are briefly describing the most common EDS types and consider the management implications imposed by pregnancy and delivery.   This review contains 2 figures, 1 table, and 36 references. Keywords: Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, EDS types, pregnancy, delivery, EDS classification, counseling, genetic screening, neonatal outcomes

Background: Ehlers-Danlos Syndromes (EDS) comprise a group of heterogeneous hereditary connective tissue disorders [1, 2]. Psychiatric disorders such as depression, anxiety, panic disorder, agoraphobia, schizophrenia, neurodevelopmental disorders, personality disorder, eating disorders, substance misuse and interpersonal issues have been reported in the literature to be associated with EDS [1-3]. Objectives: The case of a 15-year -old male who was hospitalized after a suicide attempt by gunshot was discovered to have symptoms suggestive of EDS is presented in this paper along with the results of a literature search of psychiatric manifestations of EDS in children and adolescents. Methods: Literature review was conducted on the UpToDate website on March 11, 2020 to review symptoms of EhlersDanlos Syndrome for the purpose of preliminary diagnosis of this patient. Additional literature search was conducted on PubMed on 4/2/20 at 12:10 P.M. and on 4/9/20 at 10:51 P.M. and on the search engine Google on 4/2/20 at 12:25 P.M. On May 11, 2020 at 2 P.M., another web search was conducted with review of 6 different websites pertaining to EhlersDanlos Syndrome. Results: A systematic review of psychiatric manifestations of Ehlers-Danlos Syndromes revealed a strong incidence of psychiatric symptoms. Conclusion: Our patient’s psychiatric symptoms of depression, suicidal ideations, anxiety and social and educational struggles may have been at least partially due to chronic pain- abdominal, headache and musculoskeletal, and social ostracization associated with Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome. Education regarding this illness helped our patient’s recovery as he came to understand why he was so “odd” and the cause of his multisystemic chronic pain.
