Dear Editor, Although some of my colleagues may find this surprising, as a neurologist, I have noticed many connections between dermatology and neurology. Neurological and dermatological signs and symptoms are common in many clinical entities, especially in the so-called phakomatoses or neurocutaneous syndromes (Von Recklinghausen's disease type 1 and 2, Bourneville-Pringle syndrome, Sturge-Weber syndrome, Von Hippel-Lindau syndrome, Louis-Bar syndrome) (1). The terms "neurodermatitis" and "neurodermatology" also confirm the above.

In some patients, germinal mutations may be discovered in combination with somatic alterations. For instance, Li-Fraumeni syndrome often reveals a mixture of and mutations.

Esophageal manometry can be used to calculate transpulmonary pressures and optimize ventilator settings accordingly. We present the case of a 31-year-old male patient with ataxia-telangiectasia (Louis-Bar syndrome) and a BMI of 20 kg/m, admitted to our intensive care unit for coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pneumonia. The patient soon required mechanical ventilation; however, there was very poor respiratory system compliance.

Ataxia telangiectasia is a rare autosomal recessive condition which develops due to a mutation in the ataxia telangiectasia mutated gene (ATM gene). As a result of this mutation, the ability of the DNA to undergo repair is undermined. The resulting cellular demise is responsible for the diverse presentation of the clinical condition.

Ataxia-telangiectasia (A-T), or Louis-Bar syndrome, is a rare neurodegenerative disorder associated with immunodeficiency. For families with at least one affected child, timely A-T genotyping during any subsequent pregnancy allows the parents to make an informed decision about whether to continue to term when the fetus is affected. Mutations in the gene, which is 150 kb long, give rise to A-T; more than 600 pathogenic variants in have been characterized since 1990 and new mutations continue to be discovered annually.
