阅读:1

Abstract

Gaucher disease (GD) is a recessive autosomal lysosomal storage disorder caused by a deficiency in glucocerebrosidase, leading to the accumulation of undigested glycolipids in the lysosomes of monocytes and macrophages. Patients with GD exhibit a spectrum of phenotypic heterogeneity and are broadly classified into three subtypes. Type 1 is the most common and is not associated with neurological damage, while types 2 and 3 are more severe, presenting with acute neuropathic and subacute neuropathic symptoms, respectively. A thorough accurate initial multisystemic assessment is crucial for evaluating the damage to all potentially affected organs and determining the disease burden. This case report highlights the intricacies of GD type 1 by providing a thorough exploration of the clinical presentation and showcasing valuable insights into the unique manifestations of the disease. The key feature was his individual and family medical history, which allowed the identification and treatment of another case within the community.
