Deep brain stimulation for pediatric pantothenate kinase-associated neurodegeneration with status dystonicus: a case report and literature review
Clinical Neurology and Neurosurgery(2024)
摘要
Background
Pantothenate kinase-associated neurodegeneration (PKAN) is a type of inherited metabolic disorder caused by mutation in the PANK2 gene. The metabolic disorder mainly affects the basal ganglia region and eventually manifests as dystonia. For patients of dystonia, their dystonic symptom may progress to life-threatening emergency--status dystonicus.
Objective
We described a case of a child with PKAN who had developed status dystonicus and was successfully treated with deep brain stimulation (DBS). Based on this rare condition, we analysed the clinical features of PKAN with status dystonicus and reviewed the reasonable management process of this condition.
Conclusion
This case confirmed the rationality of choosing DBS for the treatment of status dystonicus. Meanwhile, we found that children with classic PKAN have a cluster of risk factors for developing status dystonicus. Once children diagnosed with similar neurodegenerative diseases are under status dystonicus, DBS can be active considered because it has showed high control rate of this emergent condition.
