Help share more videos like this by donating to Bobby Jones CSF: ow.ly/RLvc50uoPdN Dr. Anand Saggar describes the complexity of Ehlers-Danlos syndrome. Likening it to the mythological creature of the hydra, Dr. Saggar cautions that EDS has "many heads", and it can affect individuals in vastly different ways. Dr. Saggar goes on to explain just how common connective tissue disorders can be in patients with other disorders and even in the general population. He emphasizes the importance of genetic testing to confirm diagnoses of connective tissue disorders. This lecture was presented at the 2019 London Roundtable provided in partnership with the Ehlers-Danlos Society, focusing on issues surrounding dysautonomia, connective tissue disorders, Chiari malformation and related syndromes.
