There is no cure for Alpers' disease and, currently, no way to slow its progression. Treatment is symptomatic and supportive. Anticonvulsants may be used to treat the seizures. However, caution should be used when selecting valproate as therapy since it may increase the risk of liver failure. Physical therapy may help to relieve spasticity and maintain or increase muscle tone. What is the prognosis?

Please use the alphabetical index below to find the factsheet you need. Top Top Top Top ... Top Contents Introduction What is the cause? How is it diagnosed? Is it inherited? ... What support is available? Introduction What is the cause? The exact cause is unknown but we believe it is due to a biochemical fault which causes damage to, and loss of, cells in the grey matter of the brain. The progressive damage to the brain causes epilepsy and increasing physical and mental problems. This is because of increasing blockages in the messages within the brain and from the brain to other parts of the body. How is it diagnosed? Is it inherited? Human beings have about 30 to 40,000 different genes, each of which has a function in making an individual person. The genes are arranged in pairs (one of the pair from each parent) on 23 chromosomes. Inevitably, some of these genes are faulty; a normal gene can overcome a faulty one, but if both genes in the pair are faulty, the genetic instructions cannot work. Is prenatal testing available?

Also called Alpers' disease Christensen-Krabbe disease Wikipedia Alpers' disease Alpers' disease , also called progressive infantile poliodystrophy , is a progressive degenerative disease of the central nervous system that occurs in infants and children. It is an autosomal recessive disorder that is sometimes seen in siblings. First signs of the disease, which include intractable seizures and failure to meet meaningful developmental milestones, usually occur in infancy, after the first year of life, but sometimes as late as the fifth year. Primary symptoms of the disease are developmental delay, progressive mental retardation , hypotonia (low muscle tone), spasticity (stiffness of the limbs) possibly leading to quadriplegia , and progressive dementia . Seizures may include epilepsia partialis continua, a type of seizure that consists of repeated myoclonic (muscle) jerks.

Pathologic findings include a large, sharply defined, asymmetric focus of myelin destruction that may involve an entire lobe or cerebral hemisphere. The clinical course tends to be progressive and includes dementia, cortical blindness, cortical deafness, spastic hemiplegia, and pseudobulbar palsy. Concentric sclerosis of Balo is differentiated from diffuse cerebral sclerosis of Schilder by the pathologic finding of alternating bands of destruction and preservation of myelin in concentric rings.
