Cerebellar atrophy in a child with hereditary methemoglobinemia type II
2011
Abstract We report the first case of a child with recessive hereditary methemoglobinemia type II with demonstrated cerebellar atrophy. This very rare blood disorder results in mild cyanosis, profound mental and motor impairment, and movement disorders in infancy and childhood. We suggest that children with unexplained severe encephalopathy and cerebellar atrophy should also be tested for hereditary methemoglobinemia type II.
