Importance of an Echocardiogram in the Evaluation of Ataxia.
BMJ case reports(2022)
摘要
We present the case of a boy in his middle childhood with gait ataxia and loss of reflexes with a 1-year onset. He had a background of an autism spectrum disorder but was otherwise healthy. A paediatric cardiology assessment was requested to investigate possible cardiac involvement associated to his neurological symptoms. Even though he had no cardiac symptoms and a normal electrocardiography, the echocardiogram revealed severe asymmetric left ventricle hypertrophy consistent with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. This prompted genetic testing and the diagnosis of Friedreich's ataxia was confirmed.
