Muscle phosphofructokinase deficiency is known to cause childhood-onset exercise intolerance, muscle cramps, and myoglobinuria. Rarely, phosphofructokinase deficiency manifests in infancy as congenital myopathy and arthrogryposis with fatal outcome. Here, the authors report the case of a 2-year-old
Little is known about the progression of phosphofructokinase deficiency (glycogenosis type VII, Tarui's disease). We describe a 66-year-old woman who had this disease diagnosed in 1997. Initial manifestations had included simple partial seizures since 1977, anginal chest pain since 1982, and muscle
We studied a girl with an infantile syndrome of limb weakness, seizures, cortical blindness, and corneal opacifications; she died at age 7 months of respiratory failure. There was no consanguinity or family history of neuromuscular diseases. Histochemical and biochemical studies of muscle showed
A 14-year-old girl had an acute episode of rhabdomyolysis after vigorous exercise and seizures. Laboratory studies revealed elevated creatine phosphokinase (CPK) activity and myoglobinuria without acute renal failure, as well as mild indirect hyperbilirubinemia, and hyperuricemia. The elevated CPK
Progressive heart valve thickening and shrinkage, and progressive muscle cramps have not been reported as manifestations of glycogenosis type VII (Tarui's disease). In a 72-year-old female, Tarui's disease was diagnosed in 1997, initially manifesting as simple partial seizures since 1977, anginal
