Konjenital miyastenik sendrom / congenital myasthenic syndrome
Congenital myyastenic syndrome is a group of hereditary diseases, which arises as a result of genetic mutations in the crossroads of neuromuscular. This syndrome is characterized by muscle weakness and fatigue, it usually gives a symptom from birth or early childhood. The disease is caused by disorder in the transmission of signals to muscles from nerve endings and is of genetic origin unlike miyastenia gravis, a disease of autoimmune. In the treatment, asethylcholinease inhibitors, beta-adergic agonists or other drugs can be used according to specific genetic subtype.
Disease Definition
🔬 Disease Definition
Konjenital miyastenik sendrom, nöromüsküler kavşaktaki genetik mutasyonlar nedeniyle oluşan, kas güçsüzlüğü ve yorgunlukla karakterize nadir bir hastalıktır. Otozomal resesif veya dominant kalıtılır.
🧬 Causes & Risk Factors
Nedeni, nöromüsküler kavşakta sinyal iletimini etkileyen gen mutasyonlarıdır. Ailesel geçiş gösterir, risk faktörleri arasında akraba evliliği ve aile öyküsü bulunur.
🩺 Symptoms & Signs
Proksimal kas güçsüzlüğü, pitozis, oftalmopleji, yutma güçlüğü ve egzersizle artan yorgunluk. Semptomlar doğumdan itibaren veya erken çocuklukta başlar.
📋 Diagnostic Methods
Elektromiyografi (tekrarlayan sinir stimülasyonu ile azalma), genetik testler ve edinsel miyastenia gravis antikorlarının negatifliği ile tanı konur.
💊 Treatment Options
Asetilkolinesteraz inhibitörleri (piridostigmin), 3,4-diaminopiridin, beta-adrenerjik agonistler (salbutamol) ve bazı tiplerde timus cerrahisi. Semptomatik tedavi esastır.
⚠️ Complications
Solunum yetmezliği, aspirasyon pnömonisi, beslenme bozukluğu ve kalıcı kas atrofisi. Şiddetli vakalarda yaşamı tehdit edebilir.
