Gaucher's disease in a child with Isolated Splenomegaly - An unusual clinical presentation
Journal Title: International Journal of Biomedical and Advance Research - Year 2017, Vol 8, Issue 1
Abstract
Gauchers disease is an autosomal recessive, lipid storage (sphingolipid) disorder caused by mutations in the beta-glucocerebrosidase gene leading to deficient activity of enzyme. There are three types of Gauchers disease out of which Type 1 Gaucher's disease is most common and usually presents as Splenohepatomegaly. Here we are reporting a case of type-1 Gaucher's disease presenting with isolated splenomegaly at a younger age (2 year).
