Abstract:
Neuronal intranuclear inclusion disease(NIID) is a rare, chronic progressive neurodegenerative disease predominantly presenting with adult-onset cases in China. This disease exhibits high clinical phenotypic heterogeneity, with neurological manifestations as the predominant symptoms in most patients and prominent involvement of other systems in a minority of cases. Some patients without characteristic early cranial magnetic resonance imaging(MRI) findings are prone to misdiagnosis and missed diagnosis. Herein, we report an adult female patient with NIID characterized by cyclic vomiting. She initially presented with difficult micturition, followed by the onset of cyclic vomiting several years later, without other neurological involve-ments throughout the disease course. Cranial MRI revealed symmetric progressive periventricular white matter lesions in the lateral ventricles. Genetic testing identified abnormal GGC repeat expansion in the
NOTCH2NLC gene.Pathological examination of labial gland biopsy showed intranuclear inclusions positive for p62 and ubiquitin. By summarizing the clinical characteristics of this patient, this article aims to deepen clinicians′ understanding of NIID.
