Abstract
Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (EDS) is a rare genetic disorder transmitted in an autosomal dominant mode. Its progression in young adults is marked by vascular, digestive, and obstetric complications. We report the case of a 24-year-old woman presenting with a mass in the right femoral triangle. Non-invasive imaging revealed multiple staged arterial aneurysms in the lower limbs. The diagnosis of vascular Ehlers-Danlos syndrome was established based on facial dysmorphia, acrogeria, and a history of right humeral aneurysm surgery. The patient underwent surgery for the right femoral aneurysm due to its significant size and risk of rupture, with simple monitoring for the other arterial aneurysms that were discovered incidentally. The postoperative course was uneventful with a favorable outcome.
