Research Article: Comorbidities and neurosurgical interventions in a cohort with connective tissue disorders
Abstract:
Background: Connective tissue disorders (CTDs) are a heterogeneous group of disorders often presenting with a variety of comorbidities including musculoskeletal, autonomic, and immune dysfunction. Some CTDs such as hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (hEDS), which is one of the most common, have been associated with neurological disorders requiring surgical intervention. The frequency of these comorbidities in these populations and their subsequent requirement for neurosurgical intervention remains unclear.
