Ependymoma with L-2-hydroxyglutaric aciduria: case report of two siblings

Abstract

L-2-hydroxyglutaric aciduria (L2HGA) is a slowly progressive, autosomal recessive neurodegenerative disorder. Characteristic clinical features of the disease include developmental delay, behavioral disorders, febrile and afebrile seizures. Frequent abnormal examination findings can be listed as macrocephaly, mental retardation, cerebellar ataxia, pyramidal and extrapyramidal signs. Brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) features are characterized by subcortical white matter, basal ganglia and cerebellar dentate nuclei alterations. Definite diagnosis can be made by determination of elevated 2-hydroxyglutaric acid accumulation in plasma, urine and cerebrospinal fluid and by molecular diagnosis of L2HGDH gene accompanied by clinical and radiological findings. Malignant brain tumors have been reported in the course of L2HGA. Here, a patient that was operated because of brain tumor in adolescence and in whom the L2HGA diagnosis was made by abnormal brain MRI features is reported. Following the diagnosis, her sister was also diagnosed as L2HGA due to family screening. In the light of these cases, it is emphasized that metabolic diseases should be included in differential diagnosis of brain tumors in early life especially in existence of neurodevelopmental delay, mental retardation and pathological examination findings. Specific radiological features of neurometabolic disorders and importance of family screening in metabolic diseases are also highlighted.
