Abstract

This report describes a 59-year-old woman who presented with progressive encephalomyelitis with rigidity and myoclonus (PERM)-like symptoms and severe dysautonomia, including orthostatic hypotension, sinus bradycardia, dysuria, and prolonged constipation. Her neurological symptoms improved after immunotherapy, but the dysautonomia persisted. Anti-ganglionic acetylcholine receptor (gAChR) α3 subunit antibodies, which are frequently identified in patients with autoimmune autonomic ganglionopathy, were detected in the pre-treatment serum. The central distribution of the nicotinic acetylcholine receptors, a target of anti-gAChR antibodies, and immunotherapeutic efficacy observed in this case indicate that anti-gAChR α3 subunit antibodies are associated with the PERM-like features accompanied by autonomic manifestations.

摘要

本报告描述了一位 59 岁女性,其表现为进行性肌阵挛性脑脊髓炎伴僵硬(PERM)样症状和严重自主神经功能障碍,包括直立性低血压、窦性心动过缓、排尿困难和便秘。她的神经症状在免疫治疗后得到改善,但自主神经功能障碍仍持续存在。在治疗前的血清中检测到抗神经节乙酰胆碱受体(gAChR)α3 亚单位抗体,这种抗体在自身免疫性自主神经节神经病患者中经常被发现。在这种情况下观察到烟碱型乙酰胆碱受体(抗 gAChR 抗体的靶标)的中枢分布和免疫治疗效果,表明抗 gAChR α3 亚单位抗体与伴有自主神经表现的 PERM 样特征有关。
