If you have hEDS or HSD, it probably isn’t news to you that these conditions are sometimes associated with neuro-related comorbidities such as postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS), craniocervical instability (CCI), tethered cord, and intracranial hypertension, among others. However, a new concept paper, released as a preprint on August 10, 2026, suggests that there may […]
This article explores whether upright MRI may be a useful tool for evaluating EDS-related spinal instability. Understanding the limitations of standard MRI and what positional imaging could offer instead, may help patients, clinicians, researchers, advocates, and healthcare providers better navigate the complex neurosurgical landscape of EDS. Why Supine MRI May Miss the Problem Cervical […]
