Acute Dystonia in a Patient with 22q11.2 Deletion Syndrome
نویسندگان
چکیده
The 22q11.2 deletion syndrome (di George syndrome) is one of the most prevalent genetic disorders. The clinical features of the syndrome are distinct facial appearance, velopharyngeal insufficiency, conotruncal heart disease, parathyroid and immune dysfunction; however, little is known about possible neurodegenerative diseases. We describe the case of an 18-year old patient suffering from 22q11.2 deletion syndrome. Since adolescence, he presented with behavioral disorders, recommended treatment with 2 mg aloperidin and he presented cervical dystonia and emergence of torticollis and trunk dystonia. Antipsychotic medications either accelerate or reveal dystonic symptoms.

Evans syndrome and antibody deficiency: an atypical presentation of chromosome 22q11.2 deletion syndrome
We report a case of an 8-year-old male patient with Evans syndrome and severe hypogammaglobulinemia, subsequently in whom the 22q11.2 deletion syndrome (22q11.2 DS) was diagnosed. No other clinical sign of 22q11.2 DS was present with the exception of slight facial dysmorphism. The case is of particular interest because it suggests the need to research chromosome 22q11.2 deletion in patients who...

OBJECTIVES To evaluate the performance of a single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP)-based non-invasive prenatal test (NIPT) for the detection of fetal 22q11.2 deletion syndrome in clinical practice, assess clinical follow-up and review patient choices for women with high-risk results. METHODS In this study, 21 948 samples were submitted for screening for 22q11.2 deletion syndrome using a SNP-bas...
متن کاملDigeorge syndrome presenting with uncommon cardiac anomaly and hepatomegaly
Digeorge syndrome is caused by microdeletion of a large region of chromosome 22q11.2 lead to the abnormal development of the third and fourth pharyngeal pouches. This syndrome is characterized by hypoparathyroidism, cellular immune deficiency secondary to thymic hypoplasia, congenital heart disease and dysmorphic facial features. In this case report, we describe a 4month old boy who presented w...
متن کاملCardiovascular Malformations in CHARGE Syndrome with DiGeorge Phenotype: Two Case Reports
Both CHARGE syndrome and DiGeorge anomaly are frequently accompanied by cardiovascular malformations. Some specific cardiovascular malformations such as interrupted aortic arch type B and truncus arteriosus are frequently associated with 22q11.2 deletion syndrome, while conotruncal defects and atrioventricular septal defects are overrepresented in patients with CHARGE syndrome. CHD7 gene mutati...
متن کاملInterrupted aortic arch type B in A patient with cat eye syndrome.
We report a patient with cat eye syndrome and interrupted aortic arch type B, a typical finding in the 22q11.2 deletion syndrome. Chromosomal analysis and fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH) showed a supernumerary bisatellited isodicentric marker chromosome derived from chromosome 22. The segment from 22pter to 22q11.2 in the supernumerary chromosome found in our patient does not overlap w...
