Convulsion and cerebellar ataxia associated with maternally inherited diabetes and deafness: a case report
نویسندگان
چکیده
Convulsion in diabetics is often considered as a result from fluctuation of blood glucose level. However, if a diabetic patient also presents abnormal neurological signs, mitochondrial diseases need to be considered in the differential diagnosis.

Cerebellar pilocytic Astrocytoma is a benign tumor, acounts for 80% of all cerebellar Astrocytoma, and has a relatively good prognosis. This tumor usually presents with Ataxia and in the case of hydrocephaly with raised intracranial pressure signs such as headeach, and vomiting. Treatment of this tumor is complete resection and if hydrocephally is present V.P. shunt should be inserted. In the c...

Maternally inherited diabetes and deafness (MIDD) has been related to an A to G transition in the mitochondrial tRNA Leu (UUR) gene at the base pair 3243. This subtype of diabetes is characterized by maternal transmission, young age at onset and bilateral hearing impairment. Besides diabetes and deafness, the main diagnostic features, a wide range of multisystemic symptoms may be associated wit...

Maternally-inherited diabetes with deafness (MIDD) is a rare form of monogenic diabetes that results, in most cases, from an A-to-G transition at position 3243 of mitochondrial DNA (m.3243A>G) in the mitochondrial-encoded tRNA leucine (UUA/G) gene. As the name suggests, this condition is characterized by maternally-inherited diabetes and bilateral neurosensory hearing impairment. A characterist...

Maternally inherited diabetes and deafness (MIDD), also called mitochondrial diabetes mellitus, is a rare form of diabetes that comprises 0.5-2.8% of the diabetic population. Most cases of MIDD are associated with a point mutation in the mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) at position 3243 of the leucine tRNA gene (A3243G) . Patients with MIDD are characterized by 1) young onset of diabetes, 2) absence o...
