Abstract
To review the neuro-ophthalmic manifestations of Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (EDS). Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (EDS) is a rare genetic disorder with an estimated prevalence of 1 in 5000 individuals, but its true prevalence may be underestimated because of variable clinical presentations and limited awareness among healthcare professionals. The neuro-ophthalmic features of EDS may be difficult to recognize in context but new molecular genetic testing is now available for identification of specific subtypes of EDS. Ophthalmic manifestations of EDS include loss of vision and double vision (strabismus), high myopia, retinal detachment, and blue sclera. The vascular subtype of EDS can present as a carotid-cavernous fistula, intracranial aneurysm, or arterial dissection.
