Seizure-genotype relationship in Fukuyama-type congenital muscular dystrophy.

Only registered users can translate articles

Fukuyama-type congenital muscular dystrophy (FCMD) is an autosomal recessive disorder prevalent in Japan, characterized by cobblestone lissencephaly and dystrophic changes in skeletal muscle, resulting in mental retardation, epilepsy and motor impairment. FCMD patients in Japan carry at least one

A male patient with advanced Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) had tonic-clonic convulsion. He showed transient elevations of serum creatine kinase (CK) and plasma D-dimer. Serum CK, ordinarily 122-386 IU/l, was elevated to 9,262 IU/l, while plasma D-dimer, below 66 ng/ml in normal subjects, was at

Fukuyama-type congenital muscular dystrophy is an autosomal recessive disorder prevalent in Japan that is characterized by congenital muscular dystrophy, cobblestone lissencephaly, and eye anomalies. We examined 46 patients with Fukuyama-type congenital muscular dystrophy and followed their progress

Abnormal kainic acid receptor density and reduced seizure susceptibility in dystrophin-deficient mdx mice.

Only registered users can translate articles

Duchenne muscular dystrophy is characterized by a defect in dystrophin, which often causes mental retardation in addition to progressive muscular weakness. As dystrophin is localized in synaptic regions of the CNS, cognitive abnormalities associated with Duchenne muscular dystrophy are attributable

[Myotonic seizures; the action of curare or related compounds on myotonia (author's transl)].

Only registered users can translate articles

Myotonic seizures with apnea are alarming but temporary incidents occurring during curaization of a myotonic patient. Experience with regional curaization in myotonia shows that it is induced only by suxamethonium and it is only an exaggeration of the fasciculations produced by this compound. In

We report the case of an infant with facial dysmorphism, congenital hydrocephalus, severe hypotonia and absence of psychomotor development, with ocular and cerebral malformations consistent with the diagnosis of Walker-Warburg syndrome (WWS). Investigations included a cerebral CT scan indicative of

Only registered users can translate articles

Dystrophinopathy is associated strongly with central nervous system manifestation. It has been reported that 4%-15% of patients with dystrophinopathy have febrile seizure, and 2%-12% have epilepsy. In our study, 8% of patients had febrile seizure, and it was more common in patients with mutations
