The known and unknown of post-pump chorea: a case report on robust steroid responsiveness implicating occult neuroinflammation
Post-pump chorea (PPC) is characterized by the development of choreiform movements following cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) surgery. PPC occurs almost exclusively in children, and its pathophysiology remains unclear. Here we present an adult case of PPC after bovine aortic valve replacement (AVR) which exhibited dramatic and reproducible response to steroid, suggesting the presence of occult neuroinflammation. This observation suggests a novel underlying mechanism in certain subgroups of PPC, which is likely a heterogeneous condition to start with. Further research into the pathomechanisms of PPC could offer insights into managing this otherwise symptomatic control-only condition.
期刊介绍:
Frontiers in Immunology is a leading journal in its field, publishing rigorously peer-reviewed research across basic, translational and clinical immunology. This multidisciplinary open-access journal is at the forefront of disseminating and communicating scientific knowledge and impactful discoveries to researchers, academics, clinicians and the public worldwide.
Frontiers in Immunology is the official Journal of the International Union of Immunological Societies (IUIS). Encompassing the entire field of Immunology, this journal welcomes papers that investigate basic mechanisms of immune system development and function, with a particular emphasis given to the description of the clinical and immunological phenotype of human immune disorders, and on the definition of their molecular basis.
