Also known as … Grönblad–Strandberg Syndrome
Pseudoxanthoma elasticum (PXE) is a progressive systemic disorder resulting from the accumulation of calcium and minerals in the elastic fibres of the connective tissue. Connective tissue provides strength and flexibility to your body structures. PXE can affect the elastic fibres in the skin, as well as the eyes, blood vessels and sometimes the digestive tract.
It affects approximately 1 in 50,000 people worldwide.
