CAPOS syndrome is an autosomal dominant neurological disorder caused by mutations in the ATP1A3 gene. Initial symptoms, often fever-induced, include recurrent acute ataxic encephalopathy in childhood, featuring cerebellar ataxia, optic atrophy, areflflexia, sensorineural hearing loss, and in some cases, pes cavus. This report details a case of CAPOS syndrome resulting from a maternal ATP1A3 gene mutation. Both the child and her mother exhibited symptoms post-febrile induction,including severe sensorineural hearing loss in both ears, ataxia, areflexia, and decreased vision. Additionally, the patient's mother presented with pes cavus. Genetic testing revealed a c. 2452G>A（Glu818Lys） heterozygous mutation in theATP1A3 gene in the patient . This article aims to enhance clinicians' understanding of CAPOS syndrome, emphasizing the case's clinical characteristics, diagnostic process, treatment, and its correlation with genotypeic findings.
摘要: CAPOS综合征是由ATP1A3基因引起的常染色体显性遗传的神经系统疾病，现报告1例母源性ATP1A3基因变异所致CAPOS综合征的病例，本例患儿及其母亲均表现为发热后诱发，双耳重度以上的神经性耳聋、共济失调、腱反射消失、视力下降，母亲高足弓。经全外显子测序及线粒体基因检测证实为ATP1A3c.2452G>A（Glu818Lys）杂合变异致病。本文通过阐述病例的临床特点、诊疗经过及其与基因型的相关性，提高临床医师对CAPOS综合征的认识。.
Keywords: ATP1A3 gene; CAPOS syndrome; cerebellar ataxia; optic atrophy; sensorineural hearing loss.
