[Efficacy of prolonged therapy with vitamins C and A and radiologic changes in the Ehlers-Danlos syndrome].

Abstract

Two children of the same sex, almost of equal age, and suffering from the Ehlers-Danlos syndrome were followed up for a period of seven years. One of the children was subjected to a systematic treatment with vitamins C and A, Lipovitan, sulphuric mineral waters, and kinesitherapy. The non-treated child is serving as control person for the treated one. Thus it has been possible to evaluate the efficacy of the therapy administered to the first child and also to state the osseous progressive changes in the non-treated child.
