Uraemic Syndrome Simulating Fabry's Disease
نویسنده
چکیده
Termination of pregnancy with abortifacient paste appears at first to be a satisfactory method. The points in its favour are ease of insertion, usually without a general anaesthetic, and the possibility of evacuating the uterus up to 20 weeks of gestation without opening the abdomen. Lachelin and Burgess (1968) claimed that there is no need for routine curettage, but this was done in the present series. The pain during abortion, in my opinion, is much greater than the pain of a spontaneous abortion. However, the complications which might occur are not rare and often are severe and even fatal. In our experience this method has proved so unsatisfactory that it has been abandoned.

Heart failure in a woman with SLE, anti-phospholipid syndrome and Fabry’s disease
We describe a female patient with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) also diagnosed with Fabry's disease and anti-phospholipid antibody syndrome (APS). SLE and Fabry's disease are both systemic diseases with variable clinical presentations. Recent studies have shown a relatively high incidence of late onset Fabry's disease in female heterozygous individuals, suggesting that this condition could...
متن کاملFifteen-year follow-up of a heterozygous Fabry's disease patient associated with pre-excitation syndrome.
A 47-year-old woman with heterozygous Fabry's disease with pre-excitation syndrome has been followed up for 15 years. Diagnosis was confirmed by the typical electron microscopic feature of the endomyocardial specimen and a decreased plasma alpha-galactosidase activity. As the disease progressed, the interventricular septum thickened from 11 to 17 mm as measured by echocardiography, while the AH...
متن کاملShort PR intervals and tachyarrhythmias in Fabry's disease.
Two brothers with Fabry's disease presenting with palpitations were found to have intermittent supraventricular tachycardias. Their electrocardiograms, when symptom-free, revealed short PR intervals consistent with ventricular pre-excitation. Treatment of one of the brothers with verapamil resulted in improvement of the palpitations and reduction in frequency of the tachycardia. Recurrent supra...
متن کاملA Case of Fabry's Disease with Congenital Agammaglobulinemia
Fabry's disease is an X-linked lysosomal storage disorder caused by abnormalities in the α-galactosidase A (GLA) gene, which leads to a GLA deficiency and to the intracellular deposition of globotriaosylceramide (Gb3) within vascular endothelium and other tissues. It manifests as progressive multiple organ dysfunctions caused by the deposition of Gb3. On the other hand, congenital agammaglobuli...
