Abstract
Three patients with Ehlers-Danlos syndrome have been observed to have isolated flattening of the lumbar vertebral bodies. Flattening of the lumbar vertebrae with normal appearance of the rest of the spine may be an important radiological clue to early recognition or confirmation of the diagnosis of Ehlers-Danlos syndrome.
