Primary Sjogren’s Syndrome with Renal Tubular Acidosis with Central Pontine Myelinolysis - A rare case report
نویسنده
چکیده
A middle aged female patient, a case of Primary Sjogren’s Syndrome with renal tubular acidosis as revealed by severe hypokalemia along with normal anion gap, metabolic acidosis and acidic urinary pH had brain stem lesion which presented as quadriplegia, dysphagia and dysarthria. Laboratory tests revealed that anti-nuclear antibodies (ANA) and anti Ro/SSA antibodies were positive. MRI showed hyper intense lesion in T2W images in middle pons, typical characteristic of central pontine myelenolysis. So, patient was diagnosed as Primary Sjogren’s Syndrome with renal tubular acidosis with central pontine myelinolysis. She recovered with correction of hypokalemia, intravenous methyl prednisolone and cyclophosphamide.

Distal renal tubular acidosis is a syndrome of abnormal urine acidification and is characterized by hyperchloremic metabolic acidosis, hypokalemia, hypercalciurea, nephrocalcinosis and nephrolithiasis. Despite the presence of persistent hypokalemia, acute muscular paralysis is rarely encountered in males.Here, we will report an eighteen year old male patient who presented with flaccid quadrip...

Sjögren’s syndrome is a slowly progressing autoimmune disease characterized by lymphocytic infiltration of the exocrine glands, mainly the lacrimal and salivary glands, resulting in their impaired secretory function. Systemic involvement and symptoms of cutaneous, respiratory, renal, hepatic, neurologic, and vascular systems often occur.1 Renal involvement is a well recognized extra glandular m...

Central Pontine Myelinosis (CPM) and Extra Pontine Myelinosis (EPM) are debilitating conditions, resulting from the rapid correction of hyponatremia. The outcome and prognosis of this medical condition are variable; mainly involving functional decline from neuro-musculoskeletal upset. An intensive, multidisciplinary rehabilitation has played an essential role in facilitating and hasten recovery...

BACKGROUND Osmotic demyelination syndrome (ODS) primarily occurs after rapid correction of severe hyponatremia. There are no proven effective therapies for ODS, but we describe the first case showing the successful treatment of central pontine myelinolysis (CPM) by plasma exchange, which occurred after rapid development of hypernatremia from intravenous sodium bicarbonate therapy. CASE PRESEN...
