We report a case of a 13-year-old girl with Hallervorden-Spatz disease (HSD) or pantothenate kinase-2 associated neurodegeneration (PKAN). HSD is a rare neurodegenerative disorder, which is characterized by a rapidly progressive extrapyramidal syndrome, dementia with optic atrophy, and retinal degeneration. It is associated with accumulation of cysteine-iron complex in the globus pallidi and substantia nigra. The MRI "eye of the tiger" sign is the characteristic. MRI spectroscopy is also characteristic. It shows markedly decreased NAA/Cr values in the globus pallidi and substantia nigra with increased mI/Cr values that suggest of gliosis.
我们报告一例13岁患有哈勒沃登-施帕茨病(HSD)或泛酸激酶2相关神经变性(PKAN)的女孩。HSD是一种罕见的神经退行性疾病,其特征为快速进展的锥体外系综合征、伴有视神经萎缩的痴呆以及视网膜变性。它与苍白球和黑质中半胱氨酸-铁复合物的蓄积有关。MRI的“虎眼征”是其特征表现。磁共振波谱也具有特征性。它显示苍白球和黑质中NAA/Cr值明显降低,同时mI/Cr值升高,提示胶质增生。
