A teenager with combined methylmalonic aciduria and homocystinuria (CblC type) presenting with neurological symptoms and congenital heart diseases: a case report.
Combined methylmalonic acidemia and homocystinuria, is a rare autosomal recessive disorder due to defective intracellular cobalamin metabolism. We report an 18-year-old Chinese male who presented with hypermyotonia, seizures, and congenital heart diseases. Mutation analysis revealed c.365A>T and c.482 G>A mutations in the MMACHC gene, diagnosed with methylmalonic aciduria and homocystinuria (CblC type). After treatment with vitamin B12, L-carnitine, betaine, and folate, which resulted in an improvement in his clinical symptoms and laboratory values. This case emphasizes that inborn errors of metabolism should be considered for a teenager presenting with challenging or neurologic symptoms, especially when combined with unexplained heart diseases.
期刊介绍:
Neurocase is a rapid response journal of case studies and innovative group studies in neuropsychology, neuropsychiatry and behavioral neurology that speak to the neural basis of cognition. Four types of manuscript are considered for publication: single case investigations that bear directly on issues of relevance to theoretical issues or brain-behavior relationships; group studies of subjects with brain dysfunction that address issues relevant to the understanding of human cognition; reviews of important topics in the domains of neuropsychology, neuropsychiatry and behavioral neurology; and brief reports (up to 2500 words) that replicate previous reports dealing with issues of considerable significance. Of particular interest are investigations that include precise anatomical localization of lesions or neural activity via imaging or other techniques, as well as studies of patients with neurodegenerative diseases, since these diseases are becoming more common as our population ages. Topic reviews are included in most issues.
