Balance control impairments in Fabry disease

Abstract: BackgroundFabry disease (FD) is a rare inherited lysosomal storage disorder caused by the deficiency of the enzyme alpha-galactosidase A. This deficiency leads to an accumulation of glycosphingolipids leading to progressive and multisystemic disease, including renal, cardiac, and neurological damages. FD may also have neuro-otological and visual impairments, which can generate postural control alterations, inner ear, and vision being involved in this function. This study aimed to evaluate the impact of FD on p… Show more

“…The onset age of first stroke was around 40 years, which is in accordance with the average onset age in the Fabry Registry [ 19 ]. Aside from stroke episodes, we also confirmed nonspecific headache, dizziness, and neuropsychiatric dysfunction in approximately half of all patients, similar to a previous report [ 20 ]. Ear abnormalities, including hearing loss, tinnitus, and vertigo, are frequently noted in patients with Fabry disease, and hearing loss is correlated with vascular damage and neuropathy [ 21 ].…”

“…Progressive deterioration of vestibular function is also reported, affecting 80% of men and 77% of women when assessed with head impulse testing [ 16 ]. Moreover, the vestibular function loss may lead to ambulatory instability or a fall because of poor postural control [ 20 ].…”
