The evolution of neurophysiological features including the electroencephalogram (EEG), electroretinogram (ERG), and visual evoked potentials (VEP) is reported in eight cases of Menkes' "kinky hair" disease. All EEGs were severely abnormal, with some characteristic features seen from 3-5 months of age, after the onset of clinical symptomatology. From the age of 5 months, the EEGs resembled hypsarrhythmic patterns. The ERG was not affected in any patient, but the VEP was either of low amplitude or completely absent in all but one of the six patients tested. All eight patients received copper injections without substantial effect on either the clinical course of the disease or the EEG features.
本文报告了8例门克斯“卷发”病患者神经生理特征的演变情况,这些特征包括脑电图(EEG)、视网膜电图(ERG)和视觉诱发电位(VEP)。所有脑电图均严重异常,在临床症状出现后的3至5个月龄时可见一些特征性表现。从5个月龄起,脑电图类似于高峰失律模式。所有患者的视网膜电图均未受影响,但在接受测试的6例患者中,除1例之外,其余患者的视觉诱发电位均为低振幅或完全缺失。所有8例患者均接受了铜注射,但对疾病的临床进程或脑电图特征均无实质性影响。
