Acute intermittent porphyria is a metabolic error transmitted as an autosomal dominant disorder with incomplete penetrance. Its clinical picture includes intermittent abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea, with or without neurological changes. We report the case of a young woman whose pain

Many pitfalls in diagnosis of acute intermittent porphyria: a case report.

Only registered users can translate articles

BACKGROUND Acute intermittent porphyria is a rare autosomal dominant disorder caused by a deficiency of the enzyme, hydroxymethylbilane synthase. Recognition of acute neurovisceral attacks can be difficult due to the nonspecific nature of symptoms. METHODS We report a case of 33-year-old male

A young woman with acute intermittent porphyria is described. She was admitted in a prolonged attack and had developed a flaccid quadriplegia. During the course she showed various manifestations of the autonomic nervous system, including pupils, gastrointestinal tract, cardiovascular system and

[Acute porphyrias in differential diagnosis].

Only registered users can translate articles

The characteristic symptoms for acute porphyrias are caused by the inherited decreased activity of the enzymes of the heme biosynthesis pathway. Usually there is an exogenous or endogenous factor inhibiting the heme biosynthesis or increasing the consumption of heme produced in already decreased

[Treatment of acute porphyrias. The importance of follow-up of patients and carriers].
