[Kearns and Sayre syndrome with hypoparathyroidism and diabetes (author's transl)]. 1981

O Robain, and J M Richardet, and J C Le Balle, and M L Arsenio-Nunes, and H E Brissaud

The authors give a very complete description of the Kearns and Sayre syndrome : external ophthalmoplegia, pigmentary retinitis, cardiac conduction disorders, cerebellar syndrome, hypacusis, reduced height, raised CSF protein levels, mitochondrial anomalies in muscle, skin, and conjunctivae, and low density zones on scanning. They emphasize the not-infrequent association of endocrine anomalies : hypoparathyroidism, which may be the first manifestation of the disease, and diabetes. The etiology of this syndrome, which occurs sporadically and starts in infancy, is still unknown.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007011 Hypoparathyroidism A condition caused by a deficiency of PARATHYROID HORMONE (or PTH). It is characterized by HYPOCALCEMIA and hyperphosphatemia. Hypocalcemia leads to TETANY. The acquired form is due to removal or injuries to the PARATHYROID GLANDS. The congenital form is due to mutations of genes, such as TBX1; (see DIGEORGE SYNDROME); CASR encoding CALCIUM-SENSING RECEPTOR; or PTH encoding parathyroid hormone.
