Zusammenfassung
Einleitung: Das Alström-Hallgren-Syndrom ist eine seltene Multisystemerkrankung, die gekennzeichnet
ist durch Retinopathia pigmentosa, Innenohrschwerhörigkeit, Fettstoffwechselstörung
und Diabetes mellitus. In der vorliegenden Arbeit wird über drei Patienten mit dieser
seltenen Erkrankung berichtet. Ergebnisse: Mit dem Einsatz von Rosiglitazon in einem Zeitraum von 27 Monaten konnte eine Verbesserung
der HbA1c-Konzentrationen bei allen drei Patienten erzielt werden. Dabei kam es auch
zu einem Absinken der Serumtriglyceride und der bei Therapiebeginn erhöhten Transaminasenkonzentrationen.
Die Glitazontherapie der diabetischen Stoffwechsellage erwies sich bei Alström-Hallgren-Patienten
als effektiv.
Abstract
Introduction: The Alström-Hallgren syndrome is a rare multisystemic disorder characterized by retinitis
pigmentosa, neurogenic deafness, dyslipidosis and diabetes mellitus. In this work
we report about three patients with this rare disorder. Results: The application of rosiglitazone in a period of 27 months decreased the concentration
of HbA1c in all three patients. The triglycerides and the liver enzymes may benefit
from treatment by rosiglitazone. Treatment of diabetes mellitus in patients with Alström-Hallgren
syndrome was shown to be effective with glitazone.
