Maculopathy Due to Cobalamin C (cb1C) Disease in an Amish Child.
نویسندگان
چکیده
A 5-year-old Amish boy diagnosed at birth as having a defect in intracellular cobalamin metabolism, cobalamin C disease (cb1C), presented to the pediatric ophthalmology service with severe visual impairment. Ophthalmoscopy showed bilateral bull's eye macular lesions. Visual loss occurs from retinal degeneration in cb1C disease. This report highlights the importance of post-natal metabolic testing and ophthalmic evaluation in cb1C disease, especially in high-risk inbred populations.

Neurologic regression in a previously healthy child may be caused by metabolic or neurodegenerative disorders, many of which have no definitive treatment. We report a case of a previously healthy 8-year-old boy who presented with a month-long history of waxing and waning encephalopathy and acute regression, followed by seizures. Evaluation for a metabolic disorder revealed methylmalonic acidemi...

Background: The combined MMCOA deficiency and Hemocystinuria results from defect in cb1c & cb1d & cb1F genome. Until now only 100 cases of this disease has been reported. Most of them with cb1c deficiency. Due to this enzymatic defect, mild to moderate retention of Hemocystin (MMA) and their precursors in the body fluids (blood and urine) ensues. Although, acidemia, Hypoglycemia & megaloblastic...
