Clinical findings in 12 patients with MPS IV A (Morquio's disease)

Abstract: Odontoid dysplasia in the absence or presence of atlanto‐axial instability was found in all cases. In general, this correlated well with the overall clinical severity of the condition and illustrates the importance of careful follow‐up of these patients. Symptoms or signs of cervical cord compression merit further investigation. Proven compromise of the upper cervical cord is an indication for posterior fusion of the upper cervical spine.

“…The brain and spinal cord are not believed to be directly impacted by GAG accumulation in MPS IVA as normal intelligence is preserved (Wraith 1995). However, patients have a high risk of developing neurological complications due to skeletal abnormalities (Nelson and Thomas 1988). …”

“…Atlantoaxial instability (sometimes termed "occipito-cervical instability") is a common pathology in MPS IV and VI and is accompanied by hypoplasia of the dens and the C1 posterior arch, ligamentous laxity, and extradural accumulation of GAGs [19][20][21]. Impingement between C2 and the C1 posterior arch in flexion/extension may cause irreversible spinal cord damage resulting in sudden death or in respiratory failure with quadriparesis [22].…”

“…Mukopolisakkaridozlar (MPS), enzim eksikliğine bağlı olarak gelişen, genetik geçişli ve toplumda 20000 doğumda bir görülen, lizozomlarda glikozaminoglikan (GAG) depolanması sonucu, vücuttaki çeşitli organlarda hasara yol açan metabolik hastalıklardır (1). Mukopolisakkaridozların etkilenen enzime göre yedi (1)(2)(3)(4)6,7,9) tipi vardır. Ayrıca tip 4 kendi arasında A ve B tiplerine ayrılmaktadır.…”
