Tracheoinnominate artery fistula is a well-known complication that arises on using a cannula. Therefore, routine examination of the anatomical relationship of the innominate artery and trachea should be carried out. We evaluated the usefulness of magnetic resonance imaging in 5 patients with severe motor and intellectual disabilities (SMID) using a combination of true-fast imaging of steady-state precession (true-FISP) sequences and two-dimensional prospective acquisition correction (2D-PACE).

- - Pompe disease is a rare genetic disorder caused by a deficiency of the enzyme acid alpha-glucosidase (GAA), leading to glycogen buildup and symptoms like muscle weakness and enlarged organs.
- - A patient diagnosed with Pompe disease experienced significant motor delays and cardiac issues, but after receiving enzyme replacement therapy (ERT) with recombinant human GAA for 26 months, improvements in organ function and physical mobility were noted.
- - The treatment was well tolerated with no adverse effects, suggesting that ERT using rhGAA is both effective and safe for managing symptoms of Pompe disease in this case.
