Psikoz Atağında Gelen Bir Down Sendromu ve Nadir Bir Komplikasyon: Bazal Ganglion Kalsifikasyonu-Retrospektif Bir Tarama

Year 2018, Volume: 6 Issue: 1, 6 - 9, 30.04.2018

Abstract

Down sendromu (DS), en sık karşılaşılan kromozom anomalisidir. Fenotipik özelliklerinin yanı sıra birçok organ sistemlerini etkilemektedir. Mental motor gerilik, hipotiroidi, konjenital kalp hastalıkları, işitme ve görme sorunları, epilepsi ve kas-iskelet sistemi ile ilgili problemler nedeniyle ile de takibi gerekebilir. Mental retardasyon DS’a sıklıkla eşlik ettiği için çoğunlukla nöroloji polikliniklerinde takip edilir. Kimi zaman gelişen ek nörolojik problemler nedeniyle kranial görüntüleme gerekmektedir. Bazal ganglion kalsifikasyonu %0.3-0.6 oranında görülen nadir bir komplikasyondur. Down sendromuna daha sık eşlik ettiği bilinmektedir. Bu konuda erişkinlerde bildirilen vakaların aksine çocukluk yaş grubunda az sayıda DS ve bazal ganglion kalsifikasyon (BGK) birlikteliği raporlanmıştır. Bir komplikasyon olarak karşılaştığımız bu kalsifikasyonun DS’li çocuklarda erken yaşlanma ile ilgili olduğu düşünülmektedir.

 Down sendromu ve davranış problemleri nedeni ile takip edilmekte olan hastanın kranial MR’ında BGK tespit edildi. Çocukluk çağında nadir görülmesi nedeni ile bahsedilmeye değer bulundu. Ayrıca kliniğimizde takip edilen DS’lu hastalarda BGK sıklığının tespit edilmesi amaçlandı. Bu amaçla, Pediatrik Nöroloji Polikliniği’nde takip edilmekte olan tüm DS’lu hastalar geriye dönük olarak tarandı.

Down syndrome in the psychosis and a rare complication: basal ganglyon calsification-a retrospective screen

Year 2018, Volume: 6 Issue: 1, 6 - 9, 30.04.2018

Abstract

Down syndrome (DS) is the most common chromosomal anomaly. It affects many organ systems as well as its phenotypic properties. Mental motor retardation, hypothyroidism, congenital heart diseases, hearing and vision problems, epilepsy and musculoskeletal problems may also be required. Mental retardation is often followed up in neurology outpatient clinics because it is often accompanied by DS. Cranial imaging is necessary because of the occasional neurological problems. Basal ganglion calcification is a rare complication seen in the rate of 0.3-0.6%. It is known to accompany Down syndrome more frequently. In this respect, in contrast to the cases reported in adults, a small number of DS and basal ganglion calcification (BGC) associations have been reported in childhood age group. This calcification, which we encounter as a complication, is thought to be related to premature aging in DS children. 

BCC was detected in the cranial MR of the patient being followed for the cause of Down's syndrome and behavior problems. It was worth mentioning that it was rarely seen during childhood. It was also aimed to determine the frequency of BGC in DS patients followed up in our clinic. For this purpose, all DS patients under follow-up at the Pediatric Neurology Policlinic were retrospectively screened.
