ABSTRACT
Marfan syndrome (MS) and Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (EDS) are examples of two rare genetic diseases characterized by disturbances in the structure of collagen. The paper presents a case of the disease in a 15-year-old boy with classical signs of MS with coexistence of EDS. Clinical symtomps, including abnormal movement habits, might have suggested a systemic inflammatory disease of the connective tissue.
