متن کامل[Pyridoxine dependent seizures].
Pyridoxine dependent seizures is a rare autosomal recessive disorder. Its manifestations are intractable epilepsy leading to death in status epilepticus. Treatment with pyridoxine prevents the seizures and normalizes the EEG. Early diagnosis is important for the intellectual outcome. In Denmark, the disease has occurred in a child of healthy Tamil immigrants, who are first cousins. The child's ...
متن کاملGenotypic and phenotypic spectrum of pyridoxine-dependent epilepsy (ALDH7A1 deficiency)
Pyridoxine-dependent epilepsy was recently shown to be due to mutations in the ALDH7A1 gene, which encodes antiquitin, an enzyme that catalyses the nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide-dependent dehydrogenation of l-alpha-aminoadipic semialdehyde/L-Delta1-piperideine 6-carboxylate. However, whilst this is a highly treatable disorder, there is general uncertainty about when to consider this diagnos...
متن کاملPyridoxine-Dependent Epilepsy
A 2-day-old male neonate became increasingly irritable and developed repetitive twitching in the eyelids, face, and limbs around 24 h of life. He was the full-term product of nonconsanguineous parents following a normal pregnancy and uneventful spontaneous vaginal delivery. Investigations for infectious etiologies including blood and urine cultures as well as cerebrospinal fl uid analysis were ...
متن کاملCase Report: Intravenous and Oral Pyridoxine Trial for Diagnosis of Pyridoxine-Dependent Epilepsy.
Pyridoxine-dependent epilepsy is a rare, autosomal recessive, treatable cause of neonatal seizures. Genetic testing can confirm mutations in the ALDH7A1 gene, which encodes antiquitin. To avoid delays in initiating treatment while awaiting confirmatory genetic testing, it is recommended that all neonates with unexplained seizures should receive trial of intravenous (IV) pyridoxine to assess for...
