Carasil Syndrome
Presentation

- A 24-year-old man with a history of chronic back pain presented with recurrent ischemic strokes.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
- […] low back pain. [1] The disease is rare and has only been diagnosed in about 50 patients, mostly of Japanese descent but few of Chinese [2] and Spanish descent. [3] There is currently no cure for CARASIL. [4] Signs and symptoms [ edit ] Patients that present[en.wikipedia.org]
- CARASIL is caused by mutations (presently n 10) in high-temperature requirement. A serine peptidase 1 (HTRA1) gene, which result in reduced function of HTRA1 as repressor of transforming growth factor-β (TGF β) -signaling.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Neurologic
Confusion
- The authors suggest that CARASIL be referred to as 'Maeda syndrome' or 'CARASIL (Maeda syndrome)' to avoid confusion with CADASIL.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
- Symptoms of the conditions include: Decreased mental ability (thinking, understanding) Changes in behavior Changes in personality Confusion The most common symptoms specific to CADASIL are migraine headaches and repeated strokes that progress to dementia[cedars-sinai.edu]
- It should not be confused with its autosomal dominant counterpart, CADASIL. Autosomal recessive inherited diseases are usually more severe than autosomal dominant genetic disorders and CARASIL is no exception to this general rule.[radiopaedia.org]
Hyperreflexia
- Neurological symptoms include pseudobulbar palsy, hyperreflexia, vestibular symptoms, and ophthalmoplegia. Cognitive deficits begin to appear around the age of 30-40 with the first manifestation being forgetfulness.[orpha.net]
