DiscussionIn this case, unexpected BA injuries during the patient’s surgeries to establish a vascular access enabled us to consider the possibility of a congenital vascular fragility including vEDS. vEDS should be suspected in individuals, particularly those younger than 40, with any one of the major diagnostic criteria, including arterial aneurysms/dissection/rupture, intestinal rupture, uterine rupture during pregnancy, or a family history of vEDS. There are also several minor diagnostic criteria: thin, translucent skin (especially noticeable on the chest/abdomen), and a characteristic facial appearance (thin vermilion lips, micrognathia, narrow nose, prominent eyes). 1 The criteria listed do not include vascular injuries during gentle surgical manipulation (as seen in our patient), which we considered equivalent to arterial aneurysms/dissection/rupture, one of the major criteria of vEDS.
