摘要

Hereditary cerebral small vessel diseases (CSVDs) include cerebral autosomal dominant arteriopathy with subcortical infarcts and leukoencephalopathy (CADASIL) caused by NOTCH3, cerebral autosomal recessive arteriopathy with subcortical infarcts and leukoencephalopathy caused by biallelic HTRA1, and heterozygous HTRA1-related CSVD. Here we report a case of a 53-year-old Japanese woman with coexisting NOTCH3 p.R75P and HTRA1 p.R166L mutations, each in the heterozygote. She presented with early-onset spastic paraparesis, frequent urination, cognitive impairment and baldness. We compared the clinical features of this case with known phenotypes of CADASIL caused by p.R75P, HTRA1-related CSVD. We reported cases with heterozygous HTRA1 p.R166L to discuss the potential synergistic effects of the coexisting variants.
