Summary

This study details a rare case of Leopard syndrome associated with Gerstmann syndrome in a 12-year-old boy. Neuroimaging revealed ventriculomegaly and potential left parietal lobe atrophy.

Area of Science:

  • Neuroscience
  • Genetics
  • Pediatrics

Background:

  • Multiple lentigines (Leopard) syndrome is a rare genetic disorder.
  • Gerstmann syndrome is a neurological disorder characterized by dyscalculia, left-right disorientation, finger agnosia, and dysgraphia.

Observation:

  • A 12-year-old boy with Leopard syndrome presented with learning difficulties.
  • The patient exhibited symptoms consistent with Gerstmann syndrome.

Findings:

  • Cranial computed tomography showed left ventriculomegaly, particularly in the occipital horn.
  • This suggests potential mild atrophy of the left parietal lobe.

Implications:

  • This is the first reported association between Leopard syndrome and Gerstmann syndrome.
  • The findings suggest a potential link between these syndromes and demonstrate neuroimaging abnormalities in Gerstmann syndrome.
