Deficiency of adenosine deaminase 2 (DADA2) is a rare Mendelian, autoinflammatory multiorgan disease. We report the case of a 3.8-year-old female patient who was admitted with an acute brainstem stroke and was diagnosed with DADA2 by early initiation of exome sequencing. We recommend that DADA2 and a genetic workup should be taken into account, when evaluating strokes in children even if no other than neurological symptoms are evident.
腺苷脱氨酶 2 缺乏症(DADA2)是一种罕见的孟德尔自身炎症性多系统疾病。我们报告了一例 3.8 岁女性患者,因急性脑干卒中入院,通过早期外显子组测序诊断为 DADA2。我们建议,在评估儿童脑卒中时,即使没有明显的神经系统症状,也应考虑 DADA2 和基因检查。
