Sumario:Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (EDS) is a group of hereditary disorders characterized by fragility of connective tissue. Clinical manifestations of the disorder involve the skin, joints, blood vessels, and other internal organs. We report the case of a 29-year-old female suffering from EDS and mast cell activation syndrome (MCAS). Her history includes multiple orthopedic surgeries leading to the worsening of her symptoms. This was determined to be due to medical implants placed during her multiple procedures predisposing her to severe immunological reactions. This case report emphasizes the importance of meticulous surgical intervention when managing patients with EDS.
