Associated persons: Robert E. Barrett Sid Gilman Julius Hallervorden Hugo Spatz Description: A very rare disease beginning in childhood, with degeneration of the globus pallidus, red nucleus, and reticular part of the substantia nigra of the brain. It is characterized by progressive Parkinson-like rigidity, athetotic movements, and progressive mental and emotional retardation. Onset is in late childhood; death usually occurs within 10 years, but courses of up to 30 years have been described. Aetiology unknown; considered one form of iron storage disease. A heredo-familial syndrome, inherited as an autosomal recessive trait; some unrelated cases reported

Radiological Quiz – Neuroradiology BK Parameswaran, AK Gupta, S Joseph, TR Kapilamoorthy, B Thomas Ind J Radiol Imag 2001 11:4:213-214 A nineteen-year-old boy presented with dystonia, slowly progressing since the age of 5 years. On examination, the patient was depressed and had dystonia and tremors. He had no cranial nerve palsies and his fundi were normal. Hematological examination was normal with no acanthocytosis. MRI was performed (Figs 1, 2). Fig. 1 Fig. 2 Radiological Diagnosis Hallervorden - Spatz Disease The axial T2 and coronal PD images through basal ganglia show marked hypo intensity of globus pallidus with hyperintense area within. This appearance is referred to as “eye of tiger sign” and is diagnostic of Hallervorden Spatz Disease (HSD). HSD is a rare neurological disorder, characterized by dystonia, rigidity, retinal degeneration, pyramidal signs and mental deterioration. Criteria for diagnosis of HSD are: 1. Onset at young age with slow progression of the illness over an average age of 15 years.

First Scientific Workshop on Hallervorden-Spatz Syndrome National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, Maryland Researchers from 7 countries gathered together at NIH for the first time to discuss HSS. Scientists map out research strategy to tackle HSS By Dr. Susan J. Hayflick An historic event took place at the National Institutes of Health May 19 and 20. Nearly 50 scientists, physicians and others interested in HSS from around the world gathered for the First Scientific Workshop on Hallervorden-Spatz Syndrome, sponsored by the Office of Rare Disorders and the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke. This marked the first time researchers met to discuss what is known about HSS and what is needed to further HSS studies. Since few scientists study HSS, the meeting also had the goal of stimulating interest in the disorder among young researchers whose work relates to some aspect of the disease. After defining what we know about HSS - including its clinical, pathological and genetic features - we discussed iron metabolism and how the basal ganglia in the brain work. The group learned about other disorders of brain iron accumulation in humans and mice and discussed possible therapies for HSS, including chelation, nitric oxide and medications to limit the body’s production of damaging compounds (free radicals) as a result of the iron.

Health Funding News Laboratories ... Statements and Reports on Vision NEI Statement Hallervorden-Spatz Syndrome Gene Discovery National Eye Institute National Institutes of Health The gene that causes Hallervorden-Spatz syndrome has been identified by National Eye Institute (NEI) grantees. Hallervorden-Spatz syndrome is a rare, inherited, neurological disorder associated with high accumulations of iron in the brain, and causes progressive degeneration of the retina and nervous system. The new findings appear in the August 2001 issue of Nature Genetics. Susan J. Hayflick, MD, associate professor of Molecular and Medical Genetics at Oregon Health Sciences University in Portland, and colleagues discovered that the defective gene produces an ineffective enzyme. The body needs the normal enzyme to utilize vitamin B5; without it, vitamin B5 cannot produce some of the body's essential compounds. The ineffective enzyme results in Hallervorden-Spatz syndrome. Because of this research, scientists can now focus their efforts on developing treatment strategies that bypass this defective enzyme, allowing the body to utilize vitamin B5 to help make the essential body compounds. Researchers can also look toward developing a genetic diagnostic test for the syndrome. Understanding the biochemical defects in Hallervorden-Spatz syndrome may also provide insights into the effect iron has on other neurodegenerative diseases associated with high iron accumulations, such as Parkinson's disease.
