Trastornos cognitivos en el sÃndrome de Ehlers-Danlos.
Abstract
Resumen
En este trabajo se describen une serie de problemas cognitivos frecuentemente presentados por los pacientes que sufren del sÃndrome de Ehlers-Danlos (SED). La experiencia clÃnica en la evaluación neuropsicológica de las funciones superiores generales, nos ha permitido revelar un cierto número de trastornos funcionales en esta área que incluyen principalmente trastornos de la atención, de la memoria y de la cognición espacial. Estos déficits cognitivos limitan de manera importante las actividades cotidianas de las personas afectadas. AsÃ, la evaluación de estas funciones y la identificación de los factores que agravan y/o provocan alteraciones (cansancio, dolor, depresión, ansiedad, etc.) deben ser tomados en cuenta en el tratamiento global de este sÃndrome.

Abstract
This paper describes some problems into the cognitive sphere frequently presented by people with the Ehlers-Danlos syndrome. The clinical experience in the neuropsychological assessment of higher cerebral functions in these patients has allowed us to reveal a certain number of cognitive functional disorders, especially in attention, memory and spatial cognition. Deficiencies in the cognitive area limit significantly the daily activities of those affected. Thus, the evaluation of these functions and the identification of factors that aggravate and/or cause cognitive impairments (fatigue, pain, depression, anxiety, etc.) must be taken into account in the management of this syndrome.
Key words: Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, cognitive problems, attention, memory, spatial cognition, cognitive deficit
