چکیده
Results 1) A 4-month-old female presented with hypotonia and cardiomegaly. She was CRIM negative and homozygous for p.R854X. She successfully received immunotolerance induction therapy (ITI) prior to ERT at 4.5 months. She remained antibody negative until 12 months, when titers rose to 1:800. Hex4 increased from 48.4 at baseline to 108.8. LVMI decreased from 220 at baseline to 119 g/m2. She started nocturnal BiPAP at 11 months, then developed pneumonia and became ventilator dependent, leading to cessation of ERT and death at 14 months. 2) A male infant born at 30-weeks was investigated for hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and skeletal myopathy. He was diagnosed at 4 months, was CRIM negative, and homozygous for c 546+2 T>C . He received ITI, started ERT at 4.1 months, and remains antibody negative. Nocturnal BiPAP was started at 5 months. Hex4 dropped from 59.7 at baseline to 54.9 at the last follow up. LVMI decreased from 445 at baseline to 101.7 at 24 months. He remains on ERT at 24 months and has achieved minor motor gains. 3) A 6-month-old male infant presented with cardiomyopathy and skeletal myopathy and was BiPAP dependent. He was CRIM negative and had a c.2544delC / complex deletion. The family elected not to pursue ERT and he died at 7 months. 4) A 25-month-old male presented with recurrent respiratory infections, proximal limb weakness, ventricular hypertrophy and speech delay. He was CRIM positive and heterozygous for p.P361L/p.R854X. He started ERT at 23 months. Hex4 dropped from 195.5 at baseline to 70. Positive antibody titers of 1:200 at 2 months rose to 1:800 after 15 months. He remains on ERT after 18 months with motor stability and has made developmental gains.

Headache: A Presentation of Pompe Disease; A Case Report
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...

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 (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...

متن کاملInfantile hypotonia with failure to thrive
BACKGROUND Pompe disease is a lysosomal glycogen storage disease (GSDII) characterized by deficiency of acid glucosidase, resulting in lysosomal glycogen accumulation in multiple tissues, with cardiac and skeletal muscles being the most seriously affected. It manifests itself as a spectrum in multiple age groups including infancy, childhood and adulthood. CASE REPORT We present a case of infa...
متن کاملPompe disease with heterogeneous presentations within a family.
Pompe disease is an acid maltase deficiency being part of glycogen storage diseases that affects all age groups. In both childhood and adult forms, the classic clinical picture is that of a progressive myopathy. Respiratory muscle involvement is common, may occur early in the course of the disease, and is the most frequent cause of mortality from acid maltase deficiency. Its association with rh...
