Introduction
Vascular Ehlers Danlos syndrome is a rare connective tissue disease that is associated with various arterial complications.
Report
A 25 year old man with vascular Ehlers Danlos syndrome presented with acute lower back pain as a result of a ruptured aneurysm of the median sacral artery (MSA). Prior medical history included several vascular events resulting in a right iliac occlusion. The unusual location of aneurysmal disease of the MSA might be explained by extensive collateral flow recruitment due to this occlusion.
Conclusion
Previous vascular events inducing collateral recruitment might justify a more frequent follow up in patients with connective tissue disorders.
