Fabry disease can cause various neurological manifestations. We describe the case of a Japanese woman with Fabry disease who presented with ischemic stroke, aseptic meningitis, and psychiatric symptoms. The patient had a mutation in intron 4 of her α-galactosidase A gene, which was not detected in
Fabry's disease is a rare, X-linked disorder of the glycosphingolipid metabolism, in which a partial or total deficiency of a lysosomal alpha(alpha)-galactosidase results in the progressive accumulation of neutral glycosphingolipids with terminal alpha galactose moieties (i.e., cerebroside di- and
Fabry's disease (FD) is a rare, sex-linked disorder resulting from alpha-galactosidase deficiency. Cerebrovascular complications have been reported in the literature but have not been systematically analyzed. We report 2 patients and review 51 previously reported cases (descriptive meta-analysis) to
In a 16-member black kindred with Fabry's disease, four hemizygous males had plasma alpha-galactosidase levels less than 6% and seven heterozygous females had plasma alpha-galactosidase levels between 10% and 50% of normal. A 16-year-old index male had hypertension with left ventricular hypertrophy,
A 38-year-old male Caucasian with Fabry disease presented with angiokeratomas and tortuous conjunctival and retinal vessels. Additionally, the patient showed characteristic skin lesions of psoriasis and seborrheic dermatitis. His past medical history revealed anhidrosis, acral paresthesias,
Fabry disease, a rare X-linked lysosomal storage disorder, is caused by deficiency of the enzyme α-galactosidase A. The incidence, ranging from one over 40 000 to one over 11 7000 worldwide is probably underestimated due to its unspecific pattern of presentation. The symptoms, including

A 16-year-old male presented with episodic headaches and a brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) that showed multifocal punctate to patchy white matter lesions. The diagnosis of Fabry disease (FD) was suggested upon the finding of significantly reduced plasma alpha-galactosidase A
BACKGROUND
Fabry disease (OMIM 301 500) is an X-linked lysosomal storage disease. Neurological symptoms in Fabry disease mainly include stroke, acroparesthesia, cranial nerve palsies and autonomic dysfunction. We report on aseptic meningitis in Fabry patients.
METHODS
Clinical analysis, brain
Fabry disease (FD) is a lysosomal storage disorder resulting from a deficiency of lysosomal enzyme α-galactosidase A (α-gal A). Reduced or missing α-gal A enzyme results in the storage of globotriaosylceramide (GL3) and related glycosphingolipids in the cellular lysosomes throughout the body. The
Fabry Disease (FD) is an X-linked lysosomal storage disorder (prevalence about 1 : 100 000) caused by a genetic defect associated with a lack of alpha-galactosidase A (alpha-GAL) enzyme activity. As a consequence, neutral glycosphingolipides can not be cleaved and metabolized, and accumulate in
Anderson-Fabry disease (AFD) is an X-linked recessive lysosomal disease caused by alpha-galactosidase A (alpha-gal) deficiency, causing progressive glycosphingolipid storage in various organ systems. Headache is a frequent symptom. Cerebral magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) often shows multiple white
Fabry disease is a rare inherited lysosomal storage disorder caused by deficiency of α-galactosidase A. Effective enzyme replacement therapies are available that are administered intravenously. However, a new oral treatment is being developed as an alternative option for patients with amenable
