A Case of Early Infantile Pompe Disease with Atypical Manifestation.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Pompe disease is a rare autosomal recessive lysosomal storage disease caused by defi ciency of acid α-glucosidase (GAA). This defi ciency results in glycogen accumulation in the lysosomes, leading to lysosomal swelling, cellular damage, and organ dysfunction. In early onset patients (the classic infantile form), this glycogen accumulation leads to death, usually before the age of 1 year. Some patients with early onset do not develop cardiomyopathy and their progression is slower (atypical infantile form). We reported a case with an atypical infantile form.

Pompe disease (PD), also known as “glycogen storage disease type II (OMIM # 232300)” is a rare autosomal recessive disorder characterized by progressive glycogen accumulation in cellular lysosomes. It ultimately leads to cellular damage. Infantile-onset Pompe disease (IOPD) is the most severe type of this disease and is characterized by severe hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and generalized hypoton...

Pompe disease or type II glycogen storage disease is a rare autosomal hereditary disease. The prevalence of the disease is about 1 in 40,000 to 1 in 300,000 population. It usually occurs as a result of glycogen accretion following acid maltase deficiency. The current treatment is enzyme replacement therapy, which may slow down the disease progression. Sometimes, the clinical presentation can be...

Pompe disease, also termed glycogen storage disease type II or acid maltase deficiency, caused by deficient activity of acid alpha-glucosidase (GAA), the glycogen degrading lysosomal enzyme. As a result, massive lysosomal glycogen deposits in the numerous organs including the muscles. In Pompe disease weakness of truncal muscles is a prominent presentation which results in respiratory failure a...

OBJECTIVE To describe the first case of infantile Pompe disease to be treated in Brazil. DESCRIPTION Pompe disease is a glycogen storage disease related to defects in the acid alpha-glucosidase enzyme, leading to an intracellular accumulation of glycogen, mainly in muscles. Two forms are described: infantile and juvenile. Since 2006, treatment with recombinant human acid alpha-glucosidase has...
