    Area of Science:

    • Neurology
    • Genetics
    • Pathology

    Background:

    • Cockayne syndrome (CS) is a rare, autosomal recessive disorder characterized by premature aging.
    • This report presents a novel non-familial case, expanding the understanding of CS clinical variability.

    Observation:

    • The patient exhibited classic CS features: dwarfism, microcephaly, progeria-like facial appearance, retinopathy, and sensorineural deafness.
    • Seizures, specifically grand mal epilepsy, were a significant clinical manifestation, leading to death in status epilepticus at age 22.

    Findings:

    • Neuropathological examination revealed severe microencephaly and widespread calcifying vasculopathy.
    • Degenerative changes in adjacent tissues and granular ependymitis were also noted, consistent with severe neurodegeneration.

    Implications:

    • This case underscores the diverse clinical spectrum of Cockayne syndrome, even in non-familial instances.
    • The findings contribute to the neuropathological characterization of CS, aiding in diagnosis and understanding disease mechanisms.
