Although, both bisphosphonates and denosumab are effective in reducing the risk of skeletal-related events in patients with metastatic bone disease, many concerns were being raised about the possible association between their use and atypical femoral fractures. A case of an atypical femoral fracture in a metastatic bone disease patient, six months after discontinuation of long-term zoledronic acid therapy and sequential treatment with denosumab is reported. After extensive laboratory and imaging examination, the fracture was classified as atypical and it was finally treated with discontinuation of denosumab, long cephalomedullary interlocking nailing and vitamin D administration. Sequential treatment with bisphosphonates and denosumab in patients with metastatic bone disease, may lead to an overlapping treatment effect, increasing bone suppression and the risk of atypical femoral fracture. In addition, discontinuation of denosumab may activate bone remodeling units in an area with microdamage accumulation in cortical bone caused by the previous bone suppression from the antiresorptive treatment. The activation of bone remodeling units may accelerate the occurrence of the atypical femoral fractures.  相似文献

A 10-year-old speechless, mentally deficient male, with low arylsulfatase A (ARSA) activity, and presumably, methachromatic leukodystrophy, underwent genetic evaluation. As the clinical picture was not compatible with this diagnosisan ARSA gene and chromosome analysis were performed, showing the presence of a pseudodeficiency ARSA allele and a de novo apparently balanced t(16;22)(p11.2;q13) translocation. A deletion on the long arm of chromosome 22 encompassing the ARSA gene, as shown by FISH and array-CGH, indicated a 22q13 deletion syndrome. This case illustrates the importance of detailed cytogenetic investigation in patients presenting low arylsulfatase A activity and atypical/unspecific clinical features.  相似文献
