Analbuminémie congénitale compliquée d’un syndrome coronarien aigu récidivant : à propos d’un cas et revue de la littérature

Congenital analbuminemia (CAA) is a very rare disorder with an estimated prevalence of less than one in one million. This anomaly can be lethal at birth and in early infancy but it's not very symptomatic in adulthood. The clinical signs are edema, lipodystrophy, fatigue… Hypercholesterolemia is the main biological disorder and it predisposes to cardiovascular complications. The mild symptoms of CAA leads to delay diagnosis. That's why clinical and biological signs of this disorder should be known by both of biologist and clinician to establish an early diagnosis in order to prevent cardiovascular complications. We report a new case of congenital analbuminemia complicated by recurrent acute coronary artery disease in 34-year-old man. This complication has been reported only once according to the register of analbuminemia cases.
