Intrathecal Administration of Nusinersen Using the Ommaya Reservoir in an Adult with 5q-Related Spinal Muscular Atrophy Type 1 and Severe Spinal Deformity

Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is a hereditary neuromuscular disorder, typically caused by survival motor neuron 1 (SMN1) gene deletion in chromosome 5q resulting in loss of SMN protein. SMA type 1 progresses rapidly leading to increased mortality usually before the age of 2 years. Nusinersen, the fi...
