Fabry's disease

  • 文章类型: Case Reports
    法布里病(FD)是一种X连锁溶酶体贮积症,以α-半乳糖苷酶A缺乏为特征,导致globotriao神经酰胺积累和不同的临床表现。我们报告了一例22岁的男性,以耳蜗前庭疾病为最初的FD表现,除了文献综述。诊断评估显示α-半乳糖苷酶A活性降低,确认FD。耳蜗前庭受累,尽管开发不足,显著影响FD患者,常表现为突发性耳聋或感音神经性听力损失。及时诊断和酶替代疗法对于治疗FD至关重要。耳鼻喉科医师在早期发现和干预中起着关键作用。这个案例强调了在听力损失的情况下考虑FD的重要性,耳鸣,或者眩晕,强调需要提高医疗保健提供者的认识。
    Fabry disease (FD) is an X-linked lysosomal storage disorder characterized by alpha-galactosidase A deficiency, resulting in globotriaosylceramide accumulation and diverse clinical manifestations. We report a case of a 22-year-old male presenting with cochleovestibular disorders as the initial FD manifestation, alongside a literature review. Diagnostic evaluation revealed reduced alpha-galactosidase A activity, confirming FD. Cochleovestibular involvement, although underexplored, significantly affects FD patients, often presenting with sudden deafness or sensorineural hearing loss. Prompt diagnosis and enzyme replacement therapy are crucial for managing FD. Otolaryngologists play a key role in early detection and intervention. This case underscores the importance of considering FD in cases of hearing loss, tinnitus, or vertigo, emphasizing the need for heightened awareness among healthcare providers.

    Fabry\'s disease is an X-linked lysosomal storage disorder caused by a deficiency of alpha-galactosidase A enzyme with the progressive accumulation of globotriaosylceramide in vascular endothelial cells leading to cardiovascular, renal, gastrointestinal, neuropathic, lenticular, and dermatological manifestations. It is a rare cause of end-stage renal disease. It classically affects males whereas 10-15% of female heterozygote carriers are affected depending on localization. Both the FD and its association with ESRD is rare. With this background, this case series of five patient\'s along with the review of literature is presented here.
