The association of spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) with progressive myoclonic epilepsy, also known as "SMA plus," is a unique syndrome linked to non-survival motor neuron (non-SMN) genes. The disease starts in childhood with progressive weakness and atrophy of muscles; myoclonic epilepsy develops during later childhood, after the onset of motor symptoms. In this report, we describe a case of SMN gene unrelated SMA and myoclonic epilepsy, supported by electrophysiological and neuropathological evidences.
脊髓性肌萎缩症(SMA)与进行性肌阵挛癫痫的关联,也被称为“SMA加”,是一种与非存活运动神经元(non-SMN)基因相关的独特综合征。该疾病始于儿童期,伴有肌肉进行性无力和萎缩;肌阵挛癫痫在运动症状出现后的儿童后期发展。在本报告中,我们描述了一例由电生理和神经病理学证据支持的与SMN基因无关的SMA和肌阵挛癫痫病例。
