1. Introduction
Pompe disease is an unique glycogen storage disease with a lysosomal metabolism defect and autosomal recessive trait
This is a relatively rare, fatal disease with a reported incidence of 1 : 14.000–1 : 300.000
Pompe disease has infantile, juvenile, and adult forms,and the most severe form is the fatal infantile form
The signs of the disease are progressivemuscle weakness, hypotonia, myopathy, respiratory failure, hepatosplenomegaly, difficulty in feeding, aphonia, weakness in tongue, macroglossia, and inability to control oral secretions
In the limited number of accessible reports on Pompe disease, orodental findings have rarely been encountered.
In this case report, we aim to present orodental signs of Pompe disease and contribute to the literature.
2. Case Report
An 18-month-old male patient with Pompe disease was referred to our clinic due to swelling of his gingiva while he was being treated by enzyme replacement therapy in the intensive care unit of the university hospital.
a birth weight of 3.270 g
The other child of the family had died at 16 months due to Pompe disease, and the patient had a 16-year-old healthy brother.
The medical history of the patient revealed severe muscle hypotonia, respiratory problems, gastric reflux, and a mild cardiomyopathy. His respiration was through a ventilator and he was fed by gastrostomy tube; he was conscious and
cooperative but could not speak
His first dental examination was performed by us when he was hospitalized at the intensive care unit.
His mouth was found to be open due to macroglossia and respiratory failure, and a nonfluctuant, normal gingiva colored swelling at the right anterior region of the
maxilla was detected
No color change, focus of bleeding, cystic formation, or infection was
encountered at the region. Tooth eruption was noted for 61, 71, and 81 numbered teeth( Figure 1)
His anamnesis, obtained from his mother, revealed that gingival swelling was also present when 61 numbered tooth erupted.
His parents were recommended to perform finger massage to the region of 51 numbered tooth. At the examination six months later,51, 52, 62, and 74
numbered teeth had erupted (Figures 2 and 3), and there was fusion between 51 and 52 numbered teeth,and an enamel fracture at the mesial edge of 61 numbered tooth, which his mother was unaware of it, was thought to be secondary to
intubation
84 numbered tooth was seen to be erupted and it was learned that a swelling at the site of this tooth, similar to the previous one, was present. His parents were recommended to finger massage to this area as well, and no antibiotics or anti-inflammatory drugs were prescribed during this process.The swelling was found to have decreased at the follow-up, one week later.
3. Discussion
Pompe disease has an autosomal recessive trait, and prenatal diagnosis is generally possible .
These patients can be examined with the suspicion of tooth agenesis, and a radiography and/or mutational analysis of the genes frequently handled in tooth agenesis could be added to the evaluation for a definitive diagnosis.
DeGijt et al. [4] reported delayed tooth eruption in the primary molar teeth of a 3-year-old patient who was brought with repeated gum swellings and diagnosed as Pompe disease; however, they reported that the eruption of the permanent teeth of the patient was normal during the follow-up.
Their histopathological examinations suggested that glycogen accumulation in the fibroblasts might have caused gingival swelling; however,since a significant difference was seen in the glycogen accumulation only in the arterial smooth muscle cells, the etiology of the gingival swelling could not be completely clarified.
Chronic inflammation, dry mouth, and glycogen accumulation in the fibroblasts have all been considered to play a role in the etiology of swelling
No report has been encountered in the literature on developmental tooth abnormalities in patients with Pompe disease
Baccetti et al. reported the presence of taurodontism of the primary dentition and craniofacial disproportion in the patients with glycogen storage disease type III and explained this by the anomalies in the gene content of the X chromosome or less specific abnormalities in chromatinic material development.
So, the tooth eruption problems, fusion and probable hypodontia, and developmental dental abnormalities that we observed in the case should be included in the signs for Pompe disease.
Furthermore, rapidly progressive periodontal disease, oral ulcerations, delayed tooth eruption, and gingival inflammation had been reported for glycogen storage disease type I .
In a study, only a small proportion of the children had caries experience, but most were found to have plaque on both primary and permanent teeth, associated with the inadequate oral hygiene and eating uncooked cornstarch.
Our patient has not any caries or plaque, related to feeding with gastrostomy tube.
We consider that the orodental signs of Pompe disease are inadequately emphasized in the limited number of accessible sources in the literature.
The fact that Pompe disease is not one of the subjects which dentists commonly come across may be due to the fact that patients with Pompe disease are
hospitalized in the intensive care units, their life expectancy is short, and the disease is very rarely seen.
We hope that, by presenting information on the oral signs of Pompe disease with this case report, a source can be provided in order to assist in the diagnosis and treatment of children with this disease and to establish dentistry care for those patients.
