Seizures - Case 19-3: 8-Month-Old Boy:
IV. Clinical Presentation
(Pediatric Complaints and Diagnostic Dilemmas)
GSD type I is characterized by severe hypoglycemia occurring within 3 to 4 hours
after a meal. Although symptomatic hypoglycemia may appear soon after birth,
most patients are asymptomatic as long as they receive frequent feeds that
contain sufficient glucose to prevent hypoglycemia. Symptoms of hypoglycemia
appear only when the interval between feedings increases, such as when the
child begins to sleep through the night or when an intercurrent illness
disrupts normal feeding patterns.
Patients may have hyperpnea from lactic acidosis. Untreated patients have poor
weight gain and growth retardation. Most patients have a protuberant abdomen
and hepatomegaly due to glycogen deposition and fatty infiltration. Social and
cognitive development are normal unless the infant suffers neurologic
impairment after frequent hypoglycemic seizures. Xanthomas may appear on the
extensor surfaces of the extremities and buttocks. Older children develop gout.

Article Excerpts About Symptoms of Aicardi syndrome:
Aicardi syndrome is a rare disorder characterized by the
partial or complete agenesis (absence) of the corpus callosum (the
structure that links the 2 hemispheres of the brain), infantile spasms (a
form of childhood seizure), mental retardation, and an ocular (eye)
abnormality called lacunae (lesions) of the retina of the eye.
Aicardi
syndrome may be associated with other brain defects such as microcephaly
(small brain) or porencephalic cysts (cerebrospinal fluid-filled cavities
or gaps in the brain).
