Thrombotic complications of a basilar artery aneurysm in a young adult with Pompe disease

Surgical Neurology

Abstract

Pompe disease or type 2 glycogen storage disease is an inherited condition that generally afflicts the heart and skeletal muscle. Nervous tissue involvement is known; however, the effect on cerebral vasculature is less well understood. The thrombotic complications of a fusiform basilar artery aneurysm in a young adult patient with Pompe disease is presented with complete CT, MRI, and angiographic findings. We suggest that in young adult patients with Pompe disease, MRA screening of intracerebral vessels may be considered with the goal of potentially diagnosing thrombotic and thromboembolic complications.

Aneurysm

Aneurysms are outward distensions or bulges that occurs in a weakened wall of blood vessels. Discover the latest research on aneurysms here.

Blood Clotting Disorders

Thrombophilia includes conditions with increased tendency for excessive blood clotting. Blood clotting occurs when the body has insufficient amounts of specialized proteins that make blood clot and stop bleeding. Here is the latest research on blood clotting disorders.
