摘要

Pompe disease (PD) is a neuromuscular disorder caused by a mutation in the acid alpha-glucosidase (GAA) gene. Patients with late-onset PD retain some GAA activity and present symptoms later in life, with fatality mainly associated with respiratory failure. This case study presents diaphragm electrophysiology and a histological analysis of the brainstem, spinal cord, and diaphragm, from a male PD patient diagnosed with late-onset PD at age 35. The patient was wheelchair dependent by age 38, required nocturnal ventilation at age 40, 24-h noninvasive ventilation by age 43, and passed away from respiratory failure at age 54. Diaphragm electromyography recorded using indwelling "pacing" wires showed asynchronous bursting between the left and right diaphragm during brief periods of independent breathing. The synchrony declined over a 4-yr period preceding respiratory failure. Histological assessment indicated motoneuron atrophy in the medulla and rostral spinal cord. Hypoglossal (soma size: 421 +/- 159 mm(2)) and cervical motoneurons (soma size: 487 +/- 189 mm(2)) had an atrophied, elongated appearance. In contrast, lumbar (soma size: 1,363 +/- 677 mm(2)) and sacral motoneurons (soma size: 1,411 +/- 633 mm(2)) had the ballooned morphology typical of earlyonset PD. Diaphragm histology indicated loss of myofibers. These results are consistent with neuromuscular degeneration and the concept that effective PD therapy will need to target the central nervous system, in addition to skeletal and cardiac muscle.
