Sobrecarga de ferro em adolescente com xerocitose: a importância da ressonância nuclear magnética

Abstract: To report a case of iron overload secondary to xerocytosis, a rare disease in a teenager, diagnosed, by T2* magnetic resonance imaging. We report the case of a symptomatic patient with xerocytosis, a ferritin level of 350ng/mL and a significant cardiac iron overload. She was diagnosed by T2* magnetic resonance imaging and received chelation therapy Ektacytometric analysis confirmed the diagnosis of hereditary xerocytosis. Subsequent T2* magnetic resonance imaging demonstrated complete resolution of the iron ov… Show more

“…Only a minority of DHS patients require regular transfusions and despite this hyperferritinemia, high transferrin saturation or clinical iron overload is very frequent in DHSt 3,7,21,22,29,39,44,5457. In the previously mentioned kindred with 29 patients, only 5 (17%) had ever received a blood transfusion and yet all had elevated ferritin levels, in 7 (24%) patients even exceeding 900 µg/L 3.…”

“…A 19-year-old woman, who had been sporadically transfused since childhood, developed heart failure, and a biopsy verified liver fibrosis several years prior to the DHSt diagnosis 54. A MRI T2* scan revealed iron overload in heart, liver, and also pancreas, after which she started iron chelating treatment, normalizing iron deposits and organ function54 Clinical cardiac iron overload was also suspected in a 25-year-old DHSt patient who had been irregularly transfused. She suddenly died, and autopsy revealed elevated myocardial iron 21.…”
