The impaired protein function leads to systemic intralysosomal accumulation of free cholesterol and shingolipids particularly in the CNS. In Japan, currently 34 living NPC patients are known as of December 2015. Considering the prevalence of the disease in the Western countries, the real number of NPC patients is most likely to be five-folds higher. For NPC, treatment methods are established and an approved disease-specific medications are available. It is important that patients early in their disease are referred to expert centers, in order to ensure timely initiation of treatment and to delay the progression of neurological symptoms as a goal.</p>","PeriodicalId":39367,"journal":{"name":"No To Hattatsu","volume":"48 2","pages":"81-8"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"34459297","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"[Characteristic asymmetric abnormal eye movement and dystonic posture as the first symptoms of alternating hemiplegia of childhood].","authors":"Takahiro Motoki,&nbsp;Masayuki Sasaki,&nbsp;Atsushi Ishii,&nbsp;Shinichi Hirose","doi":"","DOIUrl":"","url":null,"abstract":"<p><p>A 3-month-old girl exhibited asymmetric abnormal eye movement and unilateral dystonic posture intermittently after the first few days of life. Unilateral ocular deviation or nystagmus were the main signs of abnormal eye movements. She was suspected to have alternating hemiplegia of childhood (AHC) despite the absence of apparent alternating hemiplegic episodes. Gene analysis revealed a de-novo missense mutation (Asp801Asn) of ATP1A3. AHC is a rare neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by recurrent transient attacks of hemiplegia affecting the unilateral or bilateral side of the body; in most cases, these attacks begin in the first 6 months of life. Initial symptoms of AHC are not alternating hemiplegic episodes, but rather asymmetric abnormal eye movement, dystonic posture, or seizures. It is difficult to diagnose AHC early because no specific findings are observed in the diagnostic laboratory or neuroradiological examinations. Early diagnosis is important because flunarizine may have a protective effect on the severe motor deterioration associated with AHC. Asymmetric abnormal eye movement could be an important clinical symptom for the diagnosis of AHC in early infancy.</p>","PeriodicalId":39367,"journal":{"name":"No To Hattatsu","volume":"48 2","pages":"133-6"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"34459738","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

With regard to the mental development and mental health of these children, they are known to be friendly and social but some experience difficulties with nursing. Recently there have been a few reports on comorbidities of developmental disorders in Down syndrome. In the present research we studied both the motor and mental developments in children with Down syndrome, paying special attention to the shuffling gait and the comorbidi- ties of developmental disorder.</p><p><strong>Methods: </strong>Clinical records of 121 children with Down syndrome (age, 1-11 years; mean age, 3.8 years), who visited the Yokohama rehabilitation center, were investigated.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>Despite early intervention, we found that 14 patients (11.9%) exhib- ited a shuffling gait.

A total of 81 of 92 patients were given a prescription for SIB. Risperidone was the most commonly prescribed drug (75 cases), found to be effective in 38 (50.6%) cases, whereas phenothiazine antipsychotics were often more effective in patients with profound SIB. SSRIs (selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors) were applied in 20 cases, being effective in only five (25%) patients and discontinued in 11 (55%) patients due to the onset of several side effects, including overexcitement.
