A Case report about CADASIL:Mutation in the NOTCH 3 Receptor

Dr Sunil Bhatt

Abstract :

 CADASIL (Cereal Autosomal Dominant Arteriopathy with Subcortical Infarcts and Leukoencephalopathy) is a rare autosomal dominant genetic disease characterized with recurrent stroke, migrainous headache, cognitive deficits, and psychiatric symptoms associated with mutations in the NOTCH 3 gene on chromosome 19. Here, we report a case of CADASIL who presented with left sided weakness,recurrent strokes and  the diagnosis was established by the findings of head magnetic resonance images revealing characteristic white matter lesions and a mutation in the NOTCH 3 gene.
