Vascular type symptoms. In this type of Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, the child is often born with a clubfoot and dislocated hip. As older children, these patients often have intestinal hernias and pneumothorax. This is when air gets between the lung and the wall of the chest and makes it hard for the lung to inflate properly. Other symptoms of vascular type Ehlers-Danlos syndrome are a lack of fat beneath the skin, especially on the face and appendages. Because of this, these children look sickly and underfed.
