Abstract

Introduction

Leigh syndrome is a very rare neurodegenerative metabolic disease associated with psychomotor retardation or regression and brainstem and/or basal ganglia involvement bilaterally and symmetrically. It usually appears between 3 and 12 months of life with limited sucking, loss of head support and psychomotor deficit. Unfortunately, there is no therapeutic option.

Objective

To describe the main characteristics of this entity and review the most current concepts.

Case presentation

A 6-month-old infant was seen for a pediatric check-up with axial hypotonia, poor eye contact and swallowing difficulties. Due to gastroenteritis the patient was admitted to hospital with metabolic acidosis with hyperlactacidemia. Further studies were performed on suspicion of mitochondrial disease, confirming the suspicion with electrophysiological tests, neuroimaging and genetic study.

Conclusions

Leigh syndrome is a very rare disease, appearing mainly in infancy with generally poor prognosis.
亚急性坏死性脑脊髓炎:利综合征
leigh综合征是一种非常罕见的神经退行性代谢性疾病,与精神运动迟滞或倒退以及脑干和/或基底神经节双侧对称受累有关。它通常出现在3至12 个月的生命中,吮吸受限,头部支持丧失和精神运动缺陷。不幸的是,没有治疗的选择。目的描述该实体的主要特征并回顾最新的概念。一个6个月大的婴儿因轴张力低下、眼神接触不良和吞咽困难而接受儿科检查。患者因肠胃炎以代谢性酸中毒伴高乳酸血症入院。对线粒体疾病的怀疑进行了进一步的研究,通过电生理测试、神经成像和遗传研究证实了这一怀疑。结论sleigh综合征是一种罕见的疾病,多见于婴幼儿,预后一般较差。

期刊介绍: Es la Publicación Oficial de la Sociedad Española de Psiquiatría Biológica. Los recientes avances en el conocimiento de la bioquímica y de la fisiología cerebrales y el progreso en general en el campo de las neurociencias han abierto el camino al desarrollo de la psiquiatría biológica, fundada sobre bases anatomofisiológicas, más sólidas y científicas que la psiquiatría tradicional.
