Danlos Syndrome

Research has shown hypermobility Ehlers–Danlos syndrome (hEDS) to be associated with some complicated rheumatologic disease. In this feature paper, the authors discuss the prevalence and pathophysiology of rheumatologic conditions, specifically ankylosing spondylitis and rheumatoid arthritis, in patients with hEDS. Furthermore, the authors discuss possible reasons for the association of hEDS with these rheumatologic diseases.

Danlos Syndrome

This chapter describes the major musculoskeletal diseases stating manifestations, associations, and their implications for pregnancy, delivery, and obstetric anaesthesia. It reviews and summarizes the literature, presenting the available evidence for methods of mitigating risks to the parturient. The chapter starts by discussing the pathophysiology, presentation, diagnosis, and management of malignant hyperthermia. The following conditions are then introduced in turn: backache, scoliosis, myopathies (including myotonic dystrophy), Ehlers–Danlos syndrome, rheumatoid arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, achondroplasia, and osteogenesis imperfecta. The chapter aims to provide a pragmatic resource to allow obstetric anaesthetists to make informed decisions and management plans when faced with caring for a parturient with an uncommon musculoskeletal condition.

Major rheumatologic diseases are reviewed in detail, including symptoms, diagnosis, and treatment. Rheumatoid arthritis, Sjogren syndrome, Felty syndrome, osteoarthritis, fibromyalgia, and vasculitic syndromes like giant cell arteritis, polyarteritis nodosa, Takayasu arteritis, and Wegener granulomatosis are included. Drugs used to treat rheumatic disease are also highlighted. They include NSAIDs, antimalarials, and glucocorticosteroids. Crystalline arthropathies, such as hyperuricemia and gout, are another class of rheumatologic disease, as are spondyloarthropathies, systemic lupus erythematosus, uveitis, and Behcet syndrome.
