Problems in the orofacial region associated with Ehlers-Danlos and Marfan syndromes: a case series

Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (EDS) and Marfan syndrome (MFS) are characterised by hypermobility of joints and cardiovascular morbidity, and typical orofacial signs and symptoms are associated with both. Basic knowledge of these should prevent late-stage diagnosis and enable adequate management. This case series comprises all EDS and MFS patients who consulted the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery at University Hospitals Leuven between 2005 and 2017. Thirty patients had EDS or MFS, and in seven the diagnosis was made based on temporomandibular dysfunction or craniofacial dysmorphism.
