RESUMEN
La enfermedad de Niemann-Pick es un padecimiento
autosómico recesivo, caracterizado por un defecto en
el metabolismo lipídico y su almacenamiento a nivel
lisosomal cuya etiología es relacionada con mutaciones
específicas en los genes NCP1 y NCP2, que producen
acumulación de colesterol no esterificado y
esfingolípidos en los lisosomas. Debido a que los estudios
de laboratorio e imagen estándar suelen aparecer
normales, el diagnóstico se debe sospechar por medio
de las manifestaciones clínicas. Es propio de este padecimiento
la heterogeneidad clínica, sin embargo, algunas
manifestaciones incluyen: ataxia, disartria, disfagia
y deterioro cognitivo. Hasta la fecha no se cuenta con
un tratamiento específico o modificador de la enfermedad,
razón por la que su manejo se limita al alivio sintomático
y paliativo. En el presente artículo se expone el
caso de un paciente cuya sintomatología, principalmente
con curso progresivo de cataplejía y síndrome
extrapiramidal concordaron con el tipo C de Niemann-
Pick, corroborado con estudio de neuroimagen, electroencefalograma
y aspirado de médula ósea.
