Type II hereditary angioedema: The first case report in Taiwan

Angioedema related to deficiency of the C1- esterase inhibitor protein (C1-inh) is characterized by lack of response to therapies, which include antihistamines, steroids and epinephrine. In case of laryngeal edema, mortality rate is an estimated mammoth 30 percent. The first case of such acquired form of angioedema related to the deficiency in C1- esterase inhibitor was published in 1972. In the present case, we entail details of one such case.,

Cranial Neuropathies

Split cord malformation (SCM) is a rare abnormality of notochord development. The majority of cases occur in the thoracolumbar region, with more than 30 cases of cervical SCM reported. The clinical impact of SCMs involving the cervical cord is therefore largely unknown. In addition, the concomitant finding of brainstem involvement is presumably incompatible with life in the majority of patients, resulting in a paucity of data regarding this clinical scenario. In this paper the authors present the first case, to their knowledge, of an incomplete cervical SCM involving the brainstem and discuss its clinical impact, diagnosis, and management.

Diagnostic Work Up

We report an interesting case of a 38-year-old woman presenting with reverse Takotsubo syndrome (TTS) secondary to an Addisonian crisis, her second such episode. A few years prior, she had presented with typical TTS in the setting of Addisonian crisis; diagnostic work-up revealing Auto-Immune Polyglandular Syndrome Type II (APS II). We believe this to be the first case report of typical and variant phenotypes of TTS in a patient with APS II. The pathogenic link between these two conditions is explored. In patients presenting with Addisonian crises and refractory shock, the possibility of concurrent TTS should be considered. TTS muddies the diagnostic waters and poses therapeutic challenges as outlined.
