   Extractions: Subscribe now >> Alexander disease is a rare, genetic, degenerative disorder of the nervous system. It is one of a group of genetic disorders called the leukodystrophies that affect growth of the myelin sheath, the fatty coveringwhich acts as an insulatoron nerve fibers in the brain. Alexander disease, which affects mostly males, usually begins at about 6 months of age. Symptoms may include mental and physical retardation, dementia, enlargement of the brain and head, spasticity (stiffness of arms and/or legs), and seizures. In addition to the infantile form, juvenile and adult onset forms of the disorder have been reported. These forms occur less frequently and have a longer course of progression. Is there any treatment? There is no cure for Alexander disease, nor is there a standard course of treatment. Treatment of Alexander disease is symptomatic and supportive.

    Extractions: In infants and young children affected by Alexander Disease, associated symptoms and findings include a failure to grow and gain weight at the expected rate (failure to thrive); delays in the development of certain physical, mental, and behavioral skills that are typically acquired at particular stages (psychomotor retardation); and progressive enlargement of the head (macrocephaly). Additional features typically include sudden episodes of uncontrolled electrical activity in the brain (seizures); abnormally increased muscle stiffness and restriction of movement (spasticity); and progressive neurological deterioration. In some cases, there is hydrocephalus. In most cases, Alexander Disease appears to occur randomly for unknown reasons (sporadically), with no family history of the disease. In an extremely small number of cases, it is thought that the disorder may have affected more than one family member.

    Extractions: Alexander's Disease NeuroLearn NeuroHelp Leukodystrophy Background ... Differential Diagnosis BACKGROUND AND CLINICAL INFORMATION Head Summary: Alexander's disease is a leukodystrophy that is seen most commonly in infants or later childhood and is clinically a progressive, sometimes very slow, process with dementia, seizures and spasticity. Pathologically, it is a degenerative disorder of the CNS characterized by diffuse demyelination and rarefaction of the white matter, with little or no sparing of the arcuate fibers, and widespread accumulation of Rosenthal fibers. Generalized changes are most frequently seen but localized forms are also reported. Genetics: Probably a genetically inherited disease but the pattern of inheritance has not been established. Sequence analysis of DNA samples from patients representing different Alexander disease phenotypes revealed that most cases are with non-conservative mutations in the coding region of GFAP. Alexander disease is the first disease that is known to be associated with GFAP mutations [ Bren n er M , et al., 2001

    Extractions: Home What's New Browse Handbook ... Search Alexander disease On this page: Alexander disease is a rare disorder of the nervous system that usually begins before 2 years of age (infantile form). Onset can also occur, although less commonly, later in childhood (juvenile form) or adulthood. Alexander disease is considered one of the leukodystrophies, a group of disorders in which the primary abnormality is the inability to maintain the fatty covering (myelin) that insulates nerve fibers in the brain. Signs and symptoms of the infantile form of Alexander disease usually include an enlarged brain and head (megalencephaly), stiffness in the arms and/or legs (spasticity), seizures, and mental and physical retardation. If disease onset occurs later in childhood, common problems include speech abnormalities, swallowing difficulties, and poor coordination (ataxia). Alexander disease is also characterized by abnormal deposits of proteins, called Rosenthal fibers, in specialized brain cells (astrocytes). How common is Alexander disease?
