Abstract

Vascular involvement in Late Onset Pompe Disease, glycogen storage disease type II characterized by limb-girdle muscle and diaphragmatic weakness, is well documented. Abnormalities of posterior cerebral circulation have mostly been reported, whereas there are also cases of associated extracerebral arteriopathy. We report the case of a 42-year-old man diagnosed with LOPD a year after renal infarct due to renal artery fibromuscular dysplasia. We propose that the association of LOPD and arteriopathy should always be considered in clinical practice. Keywords: Muscle disease, Glycogenoses, Metabolic disease (inherited), All clinical neurology
