Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Rare Diseases
  • Histopathology

Background:

  • Polyglycosan body disease (PBD) is an ultra-rare metabolic disorder.
  • Typically presents in childhood, adult-onset PBD is exceptionally uncommon.

Observation:

  • Two adult patients presented with symptoms suggestive of a neuromuscular disorder.
  • Detailed clinical examinations, electrophysiological studies (nerve conduction studies, EMG), and muscle/nerve biopsies were performed.

Findings:

  • The patients exhibited distinct clinical, electrophysiological, and histopathological profiles consistent with PBD.
  • Histopathology revealed characteristic polyglycosan bodies within muscle fibers.

Implications:

  • This case series expands the understanding of PBD's adult manifestation.
  • Highlights the importance of considering PBD in adult-onset neuromuscular conditions.
  • Contributes to refining diagnostic criteria for polyglycosan body disease.
