Abstract:

Neurodegeneration with brain iron accumulation (NBIA) consists of various genetically and clinically distinct forms of progressive motor disorders characterized by iron accumulation in the specific regions of the central nervous system. The most common subtype of this spectrum is pantothenate kinase-associated neurodegeneration (PKAN). The typical magnetic resonance imaging pattern called eyeof- the-tiger is seen in most of the patients with PKAN and basically it has two distinct forms, early onset rapidly progressive (classical) and late onset slowly progressive (atypical). The common presentation of patients with classical PKAN is dystonia with dysarthria and rigidity in the first decade of life. Our PKAN family members presented with night blindness as the initial symptom without developing dystonia for a while. Night blindness due to retinal involvement can be seen in the course of the disease but it is rare as the initial symptom in classical PKAN so it should be kept in mind. Conclusion: This case study shows that classical PKAN patients can present with night blindness without developing other symptoms. We wanted to emphasize this kind of presentation
