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]
We present the 8th case so far published of generalized giant axonal neuropathy. Many features of the neurological picture of this 8 year 8 month old boy were suggestive of progressive bulbar paralysis of childhood.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
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[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]

Signs and symptoms [ edit ] FLD produces rapidly progressive weakness of tongue, face and pharyngeal muscles in a clinical pattern similar to myasthenia.[en.wikipedia.org]
Presentation It produces rapidly progressive weakness of tongue, face and pharyngeal muscles in a clinical pattern similar to myasthenia bulbar palsy.[enacademic.com]
As swallowing, tongue control, and pharyngeal muscles weaken, a speech therapist and nutritionist may be consulted.[secure.ssa.gov]

Muscle biopsy was also suggestive of neurogenic atrophy.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Many features of the neurological picture of this 8 year 8 month old boy were suggestive of progressive bulbar paralysis of childhood. Muscle and sural nerve biopsies disclosed typical nodular axonal swellings measuring between 10--29 nm.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Other cranialnervesinvolved 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]

Treatment Currently, no cure or standard treatments have been found for the disease. However, its early detection provides an optimal situation wherein doctors can devise a treatment plan for the condition.[medigest.uk]

As the diagnosis in the group of patients reported before 2010 was based on symptoms only, the disease in these patients may well result from a very diverse etiology. Since 2010, a much more defined group of patients has been reported.[doi.org]
However, since 2010 insights into the pathophysiology, genetics and treatment of this disorder have increased tremendously.[doi.org]
Milder phenotypes do occur, but rarely present past the third decade. 1 , 2 Despite its first description in 1894, only recently has an understanding of the genetic and pathophysiological basis for BVVL opened the opportunity for therapeutic intervention[pn.bmj.com]

Complications include scoliosis and joint contractures-chronic shortening of muscles or tendons around joints, caused by abnormal muscle tone and weakness, which prevents the joints from moving freely.[motor-neuron.com]
