A

דמנציה אינה אופיינית למחלת גושה

so-called Gaucher disease type III, may begin in childhood, between 3 and 8 years of age. The clinical picture is variable and *combines features of infantile Gaucher disease—such as abducens palsies, dysphagia, trismus, rigidity of the limbs, and dementia—with features of the late childhood–early adult form, such as palsies of horizontal gaze, diffuse myoclonus, generalized seizures, and a chronic course. The diagnosis is established by the finding of splenomegaly, Gaucher cells, glucocerebroside storage, and deficient activity of glucocerebrosidase in leukocytes or cultured fibroblasts.

type of Gaucher disease is occasionally encountered in which seizures, severe diffuse myoclonus, supranuclear gaze disorders (slow saccades, saccadic and pursuit horizontal gaze palsies), and cerebellar ataxia begin in late childhood, adolescence, or adult life. The course is slowly progressive. The intellect is relatively spared. The spleen is enlarged. The pathologic and biochemical abnormalities are the same as those of Gaucher disease of earlier onset

Adrenoleukodystrophy

This disorder traditionally combines a cerebral leukodystrophy and Addison disease, transmitted as an X-linked recessive trait
The fundamental defect is impairment in peroxisomal oxidation of very-long-chain fatty acids (VLCFAs), leading to their accumulation in the brain and adrenal glands. The deficient membrane protein, encoded by a gene that maps to chromosome X28, is a peroxisomal membrane transporter (ABCD1). The gene is located close to the gene for color vision. In the typical X-linked adrenoleukodystrophy (ALD), there is an inability to metabolize VLCFAs,

The *onset is usually between 4 and 8 years, sometimes later; in the most common form of this disorder, only males are affected with the entire syndrome (women carriers may display a special myelopathy discussed further on). The signs of either the adrenal insufficiency or the cerebral lesion may be the first to appear. bronzing of the skin of the hands appeared at 4 years of age; quadriparesis, with dysarthria and dysphagia (i.e., pseudobulbar palsy), became evident at 7 years; a single seizure occurred at 8 years; and by 9 years, shortly before death, the patient was decerebrate and unresponsive. episodic vomiting, decline in scholastic performance and change in personality with inappropriate giggling and crying. After a time, severe vomiting and an episode of circulatory collapse occurred, following which the gait became unsteady and arms ataxic with an intention tremor. Only then did the addisonian increase of pigmentation of the oral mucosa and the skin around nipples and over elbows, knees, and scrotum become evident. Cortical blindness follows in some instances. The late stages are marked by bilateral hemiplegia (at first asymmetrical), pseudobulbar paralysis, blindness, deafness, and impairment of all higher cerebral functions.

Q

אישה בת 40 פנתה לברור בשל חוסר יכולת לעשות פעילות גופנית שגבר לאחרונה.
בבדיקה- נמוכת קומה ותת משקל, שמיעה ירודה, חולשת שרירים קלה, ארפלקסיה. בביופסיית שריר נמצא הממצא הבא. מה האבחנה הסבירה?
1. vasculitis
2. synthetase syndrome/ overlap myositis
3. MELAS
4. CIDP
5. anorexia nervosa

A

MELAS
* Mitochondrial Encephalomyopathy; Lactic Acidosis; Stroke like episodes.
* mtDNA point mutatuins
* mitochondrial proliferation
* multi system disease.
* axonal neuropathy (areflexia)
* biopsy= ragged red fibers
—–

MELASMitochondrial Encephalomyopathy, lactic acidosis and stroke like episodes

normal early development followed by poor growth, focal or generalized seizures, and recurrent acute episodes that resemble strokes or prolonged transient ischemic attacks.
The stroke deficits often improve but in some cases lead to a progressive encephalopathy.
Some have hemicranial headaches that cannot be distinguished from migraine, and others suffer repetitive vomiting or episodic lactic acidosis.
If there is a characteristic feature it is the unusual clinical pattern of focal seizures, sometimes prolonged, which herald a stroke and produce an unusual radiographic pattern of infarction involving the cortex and immediate subcortical white matter. The CT may also show numerous low-density regions that have no clinical correlates.
Most patients have ragged red fibers in muscle but only rarely is there weakness or exercise intolerance.
Approximately 80 percent of MELAS cases are related to a mitochondrial mutation occurring at the 3243 site of the mitochondrial gene or, in a few instances, at an alternative locus that also codes for a segment of transfer RNA.
Maternal inheritance is common but sporadic cases are well known.
only half of the cases of the 3243 mutation associated with the MELAS syndrome.
The finding of an abnormal mitochondrial genome in the endothelium and smooth muscle of cerebral vessels has been suggested as a basis for the strokes and migraine headaches.

As the disease progresses, the “**classic syndrome**" evolves: **dysphagia and drooling, rigidity and slowness** of movements of the limbs; **flexed limb postures; fixity of facial muscles with *mouth constantly agape***, giving an appearance of grinning or a **"vacuous smile"; dysarthria or virtual anarthria** (bulbar extrapyramidal syndrome); and a **tremor in repose that increases when the limbs are outstretched to a coarse, *"wing-beating“* movement**. **Slowed saccadic** eye movements and **limitation of upgaze** are also characteristic. A **notable feature is the tendency for the motor disorders to be concentrated in the bulbar musculature and to spread caudally**. Thus, the syndrome differs from classic parkinsonism. Usually **elements of cerebellar ataxia and intention tremor of variable degree are added at some stage of the disease**. Approximately **6 percent of patients develop seizures** (Dening et al). Gradually the disability increases because of increasing rigidity and tremor. The patient **becomes mute, immobile, extremely rigid, dystonic, and *slowed mentally*, the latter usually being a *late and variable* effect.** With progression of the neurologic disease, the **Kayser-Fleischer rings** become more evident. * **Treatment** before the appearance of neurologic signs;, neurologic deterioration can be prevented to a large extent. Treatment consists of (1) **reduction of dietary copper** avoidance of copper-rich foods (liver, mushrooms, cocoa, chocolate, nuts, and shellfish (2) **copper chelating agent *d-penicillamine*** (1 to 3 g/d) by mouth, in divided doses. **Pyridoxine** 25 mg/d should be added in order to **prevent anemia**. The use of d-penicillamine is associated with a number of problems. *Sensitivity reactions to the drug (rash, arthralgia, fever, leukopenia)* develop in 20 percent of patients and require a temporary reduction of dosage or a *course of prednisone* to bring them under control. Reinstitution of drug therapy should then be undertaken, using low dosages (250 mg daily) and, later, small, widely spaced increases. If the patient is still sensitive to d-penicillamine or if *severe reactions (lupus-like or nephrotic syndromes or myasthenia gravis)* occur, the drug should be discontinued and **another chelating agent, *triethylene tetramine* (trientine) or *ammonium tetrathiomolybdate*** may be substituted. **Zinc**, which blocks the intestinal absorption of copper, is also a suitable treatment, but ineffective alone. It is given as zinc acetate, 100 to 150 mg daily in 3 to 4 divided doses at least 1 h before meals (Hoogenraad et al). The appropriate drug must then be continued for the patient’s ## Footnote מקרא לציורים: * י**רוק –כוראה** * צהוב –אטקסיה * **כחול :סימנים פירמידליים** * שוט – שמחזיקים-AD שנחבטים –AR * משקפיים –עיוורון * אוזניות-פגיעה בשמיעה * גפיים בכתום-פולינירופתיה * כובע-ורוד-שינוי התנהגות * **צירים –EPS** * ברקים כחולים –מיוקולוניות * **שן אחת –דמנציה** * שפם –גנטיקה XLINKED * אדום –מיופתיה? * דגנר\קטיבי – כחול טאופאטיה ,צהוב סינקלופתיה * פסים ורודים –דרמטולוגיה * אדום ורוד -פוליניורופתיה

מה המשותף להפרעה בתנועות עיניים של ווילסון, הנטינגטון ואטקסיה טלנגיאקטזיה 1. העדר סקאדות 2. סקאדות היפומטריות 3. סקאדות איטיות 4. סקאדות היפרמטריות 5. קושי בהחזקת מבט לטראלי של העין שעושה אדוקציה
סקאדות איטיות נראה גם בווילסון, הנטינגטון ואטקסיה טלנגיאקטזיה * **Wilsons**: **Slowed saccadic eye movements and *limitation of upgaze*** are also characteristic. A notable feature is the tendency for the motor disorders to be concentrated in the bulbar musculature and to spread caudally. * **Ataxia- Telangiectasa**: The **eye movements become jerky; with slow and long-latency saccades**, and there is also **apraxia for voluntary gaze** (the patient turns the head but not the eyes on attempting to look to the side). This movement of the head and eyes in tandem is the most specific feature of the process. **Optokinetic nystagmus is lost** and reading becomes all but impossible. * **Huntington’s disease**: Particularly characteristic are **impaired initiation and slowness of both pursuit and volitional saccadic movements** and an ***inability to make a volitional saccade without movement of the head.*** Excessive distractibility may be noticed during attempted ocular fixation. The patient feels compelled to glance at extraneous stimuli even when specifically instructed to ignore them. **Upward gaze** is often impaired as the illness progresses. --------- Side comment: Pursuit is impaired toward the side of a parietal lesion and away from a frontal lesion,

A notable feature of these pains is their **evocation by fever, hot weather, and vigorous exercise**. Usually there is no sensory loss, but autonomic disturbances have been recorded in a series of our cases. **Many years later** there is a diffuse **vascular involvement that leads to hypertension, *renal* damage, cardiomegaly, and myocardial ischemia**. **Thrombotic infarctions occur in the brain** during early adult years. Occasional cases are discovered in adulthood with confluent cerebral white matter changes on MRI and progressive problems such as dysarthria. The **characteristic angiokeratomas** tend to be most prominent **periumbilically** and resemble small angiomas that obliterate slightly with pressure.
