Ehlers-Danlos syndrome type VIIc is characterized by altered tensile strength of connective tissue. Several severe complications exist but skin fragility is the origin of perioperative morbidity during routine procedures. We describe the difficulties encountered during the anaesthetic management of a child suffering from the disease, and suggest special care advices to avoid any skin injury.
