Abstract
BACKGROUND Mucopolysaccharidosis type II (Hunter syndrome, or MPS II) is an X-linked lysosomal disorder caused by the deficiency of iduronate-2-sulfatase, which leads to the accumulation of glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) in a variety of tissues, resulting in a multisystemic disease that can also impair the central nervous system (CNS). OBJECTIVE This review focuses on providing the latest information and expert opinion about the therapies available and under development for MPS II. METHODS We have comprehensively revised the latest studies about hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT), enzyme replacement therapy (ERT - intravenous, intrathecal, intracerebroventricular, and intravenous with fusion proteins), small molecules, gene therapy/genome editing, and supportive management. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION Intravenous ERT is a well-established specific therapy, which ameliorates the somatic features but not the CNS manifestations. Intrathecal or intracerebroventricular ERT and intravenous ERT with fusion proteins, presently under development, seem to be able to reduce the levels of GAGs in the CNS and have the potential of reducing the impact of the neurological burden of the disease. Gene therapy and/or genome editing have shown promising results in preclinical studies, bringing hope for a "one-time therapy" soon. Results with HSCT in MPS II are controversial, and small molecules could potentially address some disease manifestations. In addition to the specific therapeutic options, supportive care plays a major role in the management of these patients. CONCLUSION At this time, the treatment of individuals with MPS II is mainly based on intravenous ERT, whereas HSCT can be a potential alternative in specific cases. In the coming years, several new therapy options that target the neurological phenotype of MPS II should be available.

Abstract
The mucopolysaccharidoses (MPS) are a heterogeneous group of inherited metabolic disorders, each associated with a deficiency in one of the enzymes involved in glycosaminoglycan (GAG) catabolism. Over time, GAGs accumulate in cells and tissues causing progressive damage, a variety of multi-organ clinical manifestations, and premature death. Ear, nose, and throat (ENT) disorders affect more than 90% of MPS patients and appear in the early stage of MPS; also reported are recurrent otitis media and persistent otitis media with effusion, macroglossia, adenotonsillar hypertrophy, nasal obstruction, obstructive sleep apnoea syndrome (OSAS), hearing loss, and progressive respiratory disorders. Undiagnosed MPS patients are frequently referred to otolaryngologists before the diagnosis of MPS is confirmed. Otolaryngologists thus have an early opportunity to recognize MPS and they can play an increasingly integral role in the multidisciplinary approach to the diagnosis and management of many children with MPS. The ENT commitment is therefore to suspect MPS when non-specific ENT pathologies are associated with repeated surgical treatments, unexplainable worsening of diseases despite correct treatment, and with signs, symptoms, and pathological conditions such as hepatomegaly, inguinal hernia, macrocephaly, macroglossia, coarse facial features, hydrocephalous, joint stiffness, bone deformities, valvular cardiomyopathy, carpal tunnel syndrome, and posture and visual disorders.

Abstract
Hunter syndrome is a lysosomal disease characterized by deficiency of the lysosomal enzyme iduronate-2-sulfatase (I2S). It has an estimated incidence of approximately 1 in 1,62,000 live male births. We report a case of Hunter syndrome diagnosed by an otorhinolaryngologist. To our knowledge, this is the first study diagnosed by an otorhinolaryngologist despite the fact that otorhinolaryngological symptoms manifest at a young age in this disease. The patient was a 4-year-old boy. He underwent adenotonsillectomy. Intubation was difficult, and he had some symptoms which are reasonable as a mucopolysaccharidosis. The otorhinolaryngologist should play an integral role in the multidisciplinary approach to the diagnosis and management of many children with MPS (mucopolysaccharidoses) disorders.

Abstract
Background Treatment of tracheostenosis after tracheostomy in pediatric patients is often difficult. Mucopolysaccharidosis is a lysosomal storage disease that may induce obstruction of the airways. Case Presentation A 16-year-old male patient underwent long-term follow-up after postnatal diagnosis of type II mucopolysaccharidosis. At 11 years of age, tracheostomy was performed for mucopolysaccharidosis-induced laryngeal stenosis. One week prior to presentation, he was admitted to another hospital on an emergency basis for major dyspnea. He was diagnosed with tracheostenosis caused by granulation. The patient was then referred to our institution. The peripheral view of his airway was difficult because of mucopolysaccharidosis-induced tracheomalacia. For airway management, a mediastinal tracheostoma was created with extracorporeal membrane oxygenation. To maintain the blood flow, the skin incision for the mediastinal tracheal hole was sharply cut without an electrotome. The postoperative course was uneventful, and the patient was weaned from the ventilator on postoperative day 19. He was discharged 1.5 months postoperatively. Although he was referred to another institution because of respiratory failure caused by his primary disease 6 months postoperatively, his airway management remained successful for 1.5 years postoperatively. Conclusion Mediastinal tracheostomy was useful for treatment of tracheostenosis caused by granulation tissue formation after a tracheostomy.

Abstract
The mucopolysaccharidoses are a group of inherited metabolic disorders that are renowned for presenting clinical problems, particularly related to cardiac, airway, and skeletal abnormalities, in children during anaesthesia. The changing clinical management of the mucopolysaccharidoses can be described in three phases. An initial phase of accumulation and dissemination of knowledge about the management of this rare disease with a growing recognition that untreated Hurler syndrome and more severe forms of other phenotypes such as Hunter syndrome and Maroteaux–Lamy syndrome were associated with severe complications under anaesthesia. This was followed by a second phase reflecting the beneficial results of new treatments such as haemopoietic stem cell transplantation and enzyme replacement therapy. Early and successful transplantation has dramatically improved long-term outcome and reduced anaesthetic complications in children with Hurler syndrome. Enzyme replacement therapy is available for many forms of mucopolysaccharidosis. If commenced at an early age improvement in many organ systems may be observed with an improved quality of life. However, these current treatment regimens do not appear to improve neurocognitive dysfunction, or cardiac valvular or skeletal abnormalities. We are now entering a third phase where the partial benefits of these treatment regimens are resulting in an increasing number of older patients with partially corrected abnormalities, including difficult airways, presenting for ongoing treatment to a new and potentially unsuspecting group of clinicians. Major airway abnormalities may be encountered and current adult guidelines may need to be adapted. A multidisciplinary team approach involving paediatric and adult anaesthetists is recommended to optimise future management.

Abstract
Several different lysosomal storage diseases, mainly mucopolysaccharidosis (MPS) type I, II, and VI, are complicated by severe obstruction of the upper airways, tracheobronchial malacia, and/or stenosis of the lower airways. Although enzyme replacement therapies (ERTs) are available, the impact of these on tracheobronchial alterations has not been reported. By extending the life expectancy of MPS patients with ERTs, airway problems may become more prevalent at advanced ages. These airway abnormalities can result in severe, potentially fatal, difficulties during anesthetic procedures. Usually, upper airway obstruction is treated by tracheostomy. However, with lower airway malacia and/or stenosis, there are no procedures available to date to address these difficulties. We report the first cases using a new technique of tracheal stenting in patients with MPS type VI (Maroteaux-Lamy syndrome) and type II (Hunter syndrome) who had almost complete tracheal occlusion and total airway collapse. An updated literature review is also reported.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The mucopolysaccharidoses are a group of hereditary disorders pathologically characterized by tissue accumulation of glycosaminoglycans due to deficient lysosomal metabolism which often leads to progressive airway stenosis and respiratory insufficiency. Relentless and treatment-refractory narrowing of the lower airways with ensuing severe limitation of quality of life is a challenging problem in mucopolysaccharidoses. CASE REPORTS We report 2 cases of MPS (Hunter's and Maroteaux-Lamy's syndrome resp.) in whom tracheal stents were placed to relieve severe tracheal obstruction. The first patient could be weaned from mechanical ventilation after stent placement but showed significant long-term stent-related morbidity. The second patient suffered a severe procedure-related complication due to positioning problems typical for MPS. CONCLUSIONS Very good short-term success can be achieved with airway stent placement in patients with MPS and severe lower airway stenosis but a high risk of severe complications and important long-term morbidity have to be weighed against potential individual benefit.

Mucopolysaccharidosis: Otolaryngologic findings, obstructive sleep apnea and accumulation of glucosaminoglycans in lymphatic tissue of the upper airway. Int J Pediatr Otorhinolaryngol 2014; 78:944-9. [PMID: 24731921 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijporl.2014.03.021] [Citation(s) in RCA: 44] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/10/2014] [Revised: 03/16/2014] [Accepted: 03/18/2014] [Indexed: 11/22/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study is to evaluate otolaryngologic problems (upper airway obstruction, obstructive sleep apnea, restriction of mouth opening, middle ear effusion, hearing and breathing problems) and their treatments on mucopolysaccharidoses (MPS) patients and to investigate accumulation of glucosaminoglycans (GAG) in the upper airway biochemically and pathologically. METHODS 76 MPS patients were evaluated. Forty-two MPS patients underwent polysomnography (PSG) for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). Pre- and postoperative PSG results of 18 patients were compared. The success and complications of treatments for OSA in MPS were evaluated. Biochemical and histopathological accumulation of GAG in tonsil and adenoid tissue and middle ear effusion were analyzed and compared with the control group. RESULTS Forty patients out of 42 tested with PSG had OSA (95%). Adenoid grade, Mallampati grade, restricted mouth opening, rate of difficult intubation were significantly different among MPS subtypes. MPS types III and IV had significantly lower Mallampati scores; type VI had significantly worse mouth opening; and type III had significantly better mouth opening and higher rate of easy intubation when compared to other MPS types. There was no significant difference between MPS subtypes according to tonsil grade, adenoid grade, rate of otitis media with effusion and OSA severity. Statistically significant difference was found between GAG accumulation in adenoid tissue and middle ear effusion of MPS and control group (p<0.05). However, GAG accumulation in tonsil was not significantly different between MPS and control group. There was a statistically significant improvement in postop Apnea-Hypopnea Index (AHI) compared to preop AHI (p<0.05). CONCLUSIONS Most MPS patients have airway obstruction and OSA due to adenotonsillar hypertrophy. Most of these children benefit from adenotonsillectomy, after which OSA significantly improves. They experience high recurrence rate after adenoidectomy; though this is not clinically problematic. They also suffer from conductive hearing loss due to OME, which has to be treated with ventilation tube insertion. However, such operations are usually complicated by difficult endotracheal intubation and restricted mouth opening. Sometimes tracheotomy may be necessary. Tracheotomy is also highly complicated in MPS patients. Significant accumulation of GAG in middle ear fluid and adenoid tissue is present; however, GAG appears not to accumulate in tonsillar tissue.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Patients with mucopolysaccharidosis type II (MPS II) may develop progressive multi-level upper airway obstruction. Despite the unique challenges presented by these complex patients, tracheostomy remains an important intervention to safeguard the airway when other interventions have failed or when the airway obstruction involves multiple sites. Airway involvement is largely responsible for the significant anaesthetic risk seen in MPS II. We reviewed our tertiary unit's experience of tracheostomies in patients with MPS II. STUDY DESIGN Retrospective study. METHODS Case note review of MPS II patients requiring tracheostomy at our tertiary institution. The primary outcome measure used for this study was complications following tracheostomy. RESULTS We identified 10 MPS II patients requiring tracheostomy to manage upper airway obstruction. Mean age at which tracheostomy was 11 years 2 months (range 4 years 6 months to 28 years 10 months). Tracheostomy insertion was indicated in 3 scenarios: (1) to safeguard an anticipated difficult airway prior to a planned non-ENT surgical procedure, (2) to treat refractory progressive upper airway obstruction and (3) emergency airway management. Complications recorded included infratip and suprastomal granulations, local wound infection and skin ulceration from mechanical trauma. There were no immediate postoperative complications. CONCLUSIONS Progressive upper airway obstruction is common in children with MPS II. Tracheostomy is an effective way of managing airway obstruction when less invasive interventions are no longer adequate. Tracheostomy in these patients can be technically difficult and although the complications of tracheostomy in MPS II do not significantly differ from other patient groups, the implications and management complexity vary considerably. The impact of ERT on airway obstruction is not yet fully understood, with tracheostomies likely to remain an important airway adjunct in some patients who fail to respond to ERT, or in those patients surviving into adulthood. It is vital that a multidisciplinary team, comprising clinicians with experience in managing such patients, are involved in airway management of patients with MPS II to enable the best standard of care to be given. The significant additional implications of a tracheostomy in a patient with MPS II, in terms of safety, aftercare and potentially life-threatening complications must be discussed in detail with the patient's family and/or carers.

Abstract
MPS encompasses a group of rare lysosomal storage disorders that are associated with the accumulation of glycosaminoglycans (GAG) in organs and tissues. This accumulation can lead to the progressive development of a variety of clinical manifestations. Ear, nose, throat (ENT) and respiratory problems are very common in patients with MPS and are often among the first symptoms to appear. Typical features of MPS include upper and lower airway obstruction and restrictive pulmonary disease, which can lead to chronic rhinosinusitis or chronic ear infections, recurrent upper and lower respiratory tract infections, obstructive sleep apnoea, impaired exercise tolerance, and respiratory failure. This review provides a detailed overview of the ENT and respiratory manifestations that can occur in patients with MPS and discusses the issues related to their evaluation and management.

Abstract
This paper provides a detailed overview and discussion of anaesthesia in patients with mucopolysaccharidosis (MPS), the evaluation of risk factors in these patients and their anaesthetic management, including emergency airway issues. MPS represents a group of rare lysosomal storage disorders associated with an array of clinical manifestations. The high prevalence of airway obstruction and restrictive pulmonary disease in combination with cardiovascular manifestations poses a high anaesthetic risk to these patients. Typical anaesthetic problems include airway obstruction after induction or extubation, intubation difficulties or failure [can't intubate, can't ventilate (CICV)], possible emergency tracheostomy and cardiovascular and cervical spine issues. Because of the high anaesthetic risk, the benefits of a procedure in patients with MPS should always be balanced against the associated risks. Therefore, careful evaluation of anaesthetic risk factors should be made before the procedure, involving evaluation of airways and cardiorespiratory and cervical spine problems. In addition, information on the specific type of MPS, prior history of anaesthesia, presence of cervical instability and range of motion of the temporomandibular joint are important and may be pivotal to prevent complications during anaesthesia. Knowledge of these risk factors allows the anaesthetist to anticipate potential problems that may arise during or after the procedure. Anaesthesia in MPS patients should be preferably done by an experienced (paediatric) anaesthetist, supported by a multidisciplinary team (ear, nose, throat surgeon and intensive care team), with access to all necessary equipment and support.

Abstract
OBJETIVO: o presente estudo visou relacionar o grau de disfagia com o consumo alimentar de indivíduos com mucopolissacaridose II (MPS II). MÉTODO: foram incluídos indivíduos com MPS II do departamento de genética da Universidade Estadual de Alagoas e excluídos aqueles com outros tipos de mucopolissacaridoses, bem como que estivessem em uso de via alternativa de alimentação. Realizadas avaliações antropométrica, dietética, fonoaudiológica para disfagia, clínica otorrinolaringológica e a videoendoscopia da deglutição. RESULTADOS: foram estudados 07 indivíduos, do gênero masculino, entre 5 e 14 anos de idade, dos quais mais de 50% faziam uso de anti-hipertensivo e 42,8% manifestavam a forma grave da doença. Seis deles apresentaram déficit de altura/ idade e mais de 70% encontravam-se obesos segundo o Índice de Massa Corporal (IMC). Foi observada disfagia em cinco deles, com média diária de consumo calórico de 920,15 ± 244,09 calorias, contra 1264,94 ± 106,85 calorias para aqueles sem disfagia, com variação intra-individual significativamente maior no grupo de portadores de disfagia (p < 0,05). Além disso, os indivíduos sem disfagia apresentaram consumo alimentar mais elevado de carboidratos, proteínas e lipídios. Já para os micronutrientes, com exceção da média de consumo diária de ferro e vitamina E, todos os outros avaliados apresentaram médias diárias de consumo maiores no grupo sem disfagia (p < 0,05). CONCLUSÃO: foi observada uma elevada frequência de disfagia nos portadores de MPS II estudados, e isso foi associado ao baixo consumo alimentar calórico e desequilíbrio na proporção e quantidade de macronutrientes e de parte dos micronutrientes.

Abstract
Mucopolysaccharidosis type II (MPS II) is a rare, life-limiting, X-linked recessive disease characterised by deficiency of the lysosomal enzyme iduronate-2-sulfatase. Consequent accumulation of glycosaminoglycans leads to pathological changes in multiple body systems. Age at onset, signs and symptoms, and disease progression are heterogeneous, and patients may present with many different manifestations to a wide range of specialists. Expertise in diagnosing and managing MPS II varies widely between countries, and substantial delays between disease onset and diagnosis can occur. In recent years, disease-specific treatments such as enzyme replacement therapy and stem cell transplantation have helped to address the underlying enzyme deficiency in patients with MPS II. However, the multisystem nature of this disorder and the irreversibility of some manifestations mean that most patients require substantial medical support from many different specialists, even if they are receiving treatment. This article presents an overview of how to recognise, diagnose, and care for patients with MPS II. Particular focus is given to the multidisciplinary nature of patient management, which requires input from paediatricians, specialist nurses, otorhinolaryngologists, orthopaedic surgeons, ophthalmologists, cardiologists, pneumologists, anaesthesiologists, neurologists, physiotherapists, occupational therapists, speech therapists, psychologists, social workers, homecare companies and patient societies. Take-home message Expertise in recognising and treating patients with MPS II varies widely between countries. This article presents pan-European recommendations for the diagnosis and management of this life-limiting disease.

Abstract
PURPOSE To characterize surgical histories typical of patients with mucopolysaccharidosis type II, thereby broadening understanding of the natural history of these patients and helping physicians recognize the disease. METHODS Data on surgical interventions from the Hunter Outcome Survey--a multinational, observational database of patients with mucopolysaccharidosis type II-were analyzed. The study population comprised 527 patients for whom surgical data were reported on/before July 23, 2009. RESULTS Surgical interventions were performed in 83.7% of the study population. Patients underwent their first operation at a median age of 2.6 years. Tympanostomies, repairs of inguinal hernias, and operations for carpal tunnel syndrome were performed in a greater proportion of the study population than the general population. A median of 3.0 operations was performed per patient; repeat operations for hernia or carpal tunnel syndrome were common. The majority of patients (221/389) underwent at least one surgical intervention before diagnosis of mucopolysaccharidosis type II. CONCLUSION Patients with mucopolysaccharidosis type II typically undergo surgical intervention at a young age, often before diagnosis. Repeated early surgical interventions, particularly for hernias or carpal tunnel syndrome, are characteristic of patients with mucopolysaccharidosis type II. We recommend that such patients are carefully examined for manifestations of mucopolysaccharidosis disorders and referred for diagnostic testing.

Abstract
Hunter syndrome is a rare, X-linked disorder caused by a deficiency of the lysosomal enzyme iduronate-2-sulfatase. In the absence of sufficient enzyme activity, glycosaminoglycans accumulate in the lysosomes of many tissues and organs and contribute to the multisystem, progressive pathologies seen in Hunter syndrome. The nervous, cardiovascular, respiratory, and musculoskeletal systems can be involved in individuals with Hunter syndrome. Although the management of some clinical problems associated with the disease may seem routine, the management is typically complex and requires the physician to be aware of the special issues surrounding the patient with Hunter syndrome, and a multidisciplinary approach should be taken. Subspecialties such as otorhinolaryngology, neurosurgery, orthopedics, cardiology, anesthesiology, pulmonology, and neurodevelopment will all have a role in management, as will specialty areas such as physiotherapy, audiology, and others. The important management topics are discussed in this review, and the use of enzyme-replacement therapy with recombinant human iduronate-2-sulfatase as a specific treatment for Hunter syndrome is presented.
