摘要
Fabry's disease is an X-linked disorder of enzyme alpha-galactosidase A which leads to an accumulation of the glycolipids in lysosomes in vessels and organs. The disorder is rare with an estimated incidence of 1 in 40,000 and disease occurs more rarely in women than men. Paresthesias, hearing loss, and stroke are the typical neurological manifestations. Brain magnetic resonance imaging abnormalities may mimic those seen in multiple sclerosis (MS). Reported here is one of the rarely reported cases of Fabry's disease in a female heterozygote mistaken for MS.
