Neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF-1) is the most prevalent autosomal dominant genetic disorder among humans. Moyamoya disease is a cerebral vasculopathy that is only rarely observed in association with NF-1, particularly in the pediatric age range. The present study reports an occurrence of this association in an infant.
An eight-month-old female presented convulsive seizures with clonic movements. The patient suffered an ischemic stroke with hemiparesis. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed radiological findings compatible with moyamoya disease. The diagnosis of NF-1 was made at the age of 20 months.
Despite the rarity of this association in childhood, children with focal neurological symptoms and a diagnosis of NF-1 deserve to be investigated for moyamoya syndrome.
1型神经纤维瘤病(NF-1)是人类中最常见的常染色体显性遗传病。烟雾病是一种脑血管病,仅在与NF-1相关的情况下很少见,尤其是在儿童年龄范围内。本研究报告了一名婴儿中这种关联的发生情况。
一名8个月大的女性出现伴有阵挛性运动的惊厥发作。该患者发生了伴有偏瘫的缺血性中风。磁共振成像显示出与烟雾病相符的影像学表现。NF-1的诊断在20个月大时做出。
尽管这种关联在儿童期罕见,但有局灶性神经症状且诊断为NF-1的儿童仍值得对烟雾病综合征进行调查。
