Fazio-Londe Disease

Abstract We report on three patients (two siblings and one unrelated) presenting in infancy with progressive muscle weakness and paralysis of the diaphragm. [doi.org]

Two children presented in the first 16 months of life with stridor and died of respiratory failure by the age of 2 years. Hearing loss was not apparent in these infants. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

It may present in childhood with severe neurological deterioration with hypotonia, respiratory insufficiency leading to premature death, or later in life with bulbar weakness which progresses to involve motor neurons throughout the neuroaxis. [malacards.org]

    A review of the literature, combined with the present series, suggests that there are at least three distinct subtypes: a very rare autosomal dominant form (as described by Fazio) and two variants with probable autosomal recessive inheritance either with [doi.org]

  • Cranial Nerve Involvement

    Other cranial nerves involved were vagus, trigeminal, spinal accessory nerve, abducent, occulomotor and glossopharyngeal in this order. Corticospinal tract signs were found in 2 of the 14 patients. [en.wikipedia.org]

    nerve involvement (nerves VIII—XII), can include lower and upper motor neurone limb signs, respiratory compromise, facial weakness, sensory ataxia and optic atrophy. 2, 4 Half of the cases are familial, arising with an autosomal recessive pattern of [pn.bmj.com]
