Overview

Fabry disease is a rare inherited lysosomal storage disorder. Patients with classical multisystemic disease have frequent neurological manifestations. It is of great importance for patients to be diagnosed early and properly since there is specific disease therapy available. This article provides an overview of current knowledge about Fabry disease with emphasis on its neurological manifestations.

Key words:
Fabry disease – small fi ber neuropathy – stroke – enzyme-replacement therapy
