A 45-year-old woman with type IIIa glycogen storage disease (GSD IIIa) died of variceal hemorrhage secondary to liver cirrhosis. The postmortem examination disclosed increased intracellular glycogen in the liver as well as in the heart and skeletal muscle. Although most liver injuries in GSD IIIa have been considered to be non-progressive in adulthood, liver cirrhosis can be a cause of death in some patients.
一名患有IIIa型糖原贮积病(GSD IIIa)的45岁女性死于肝硬化继发的静脉曲张出血。尸检发现肝脏以及心脏和骨骼肌中的细胞内糖原增加。尽管大多数IIIa型糖原贮积病患者的肝脏损伤在成年期被认为是非进行性的,但肝硬化在某些患者中可能是死因。
