| Abstract | Background: Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is an autosomal recessive disease, which can be classified into 4 types according to the symptom onset age and the highest physical developmental milestone. Among them, type 1 SMA is the most severe form that affects infants younger than 6 months. Permanent assisted ventilation is usually needed for infants with type 1 SMA before the age of 2 years due to the rapid progression of disease. Nusinersen can improve the motor function of SMA patients, but its effect on respiratory function varies.In the present study, we reported a case of child with type 1 SMA who was successfully weaned from the invasive respiratory support after nusinersen treatment. Case presentation: A girl aged 6 years and 5 months was admitted for SMA in the Children’s Hospital of Nanjing Medical University for 18 times. She received the first administration of nusinersen in November 2020 at the age of 5 years and 1 month.At the age of 6 years and 1 month following 6 loading doses, we tried to wean the child from the invasive ventilation for non-invasive respiratory support using a nasal mask.At present, the patient shows oxygen saturation (SpO2) above 95% without ventilator support during the daytime, and no signs of dyspnea. A non-invasive home ventilator was used at nighttime for the sake of safety. The CHOP INTEND score increased by 11 points from the first loading dose to the sixth. She can now move her limbs against gravity, take in food orally and perform partial vocal function. Conclusions: We reported a child with type 1 SMA who was successfully weaned from the 2-years invasive ventilation after 6 loading doses,and now only need non-invasive ventilation 12 h per day. It is suggested that even a late nusinersen treatment can improve respiratory and motor function in SMA patients, and wean them from mechanical ventilation, thus improve the quality of life and reduce the medical cost. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
