Severe Hypoplasia/Aplasia Of The Medullary Arcuate Nucleus In A Further Patient With Sudden Infant Death Syndrome, Elvio Della Giustina, Tiziana Salviato, Luca Fabbiani, Luciano Mancini, Antonino Maiorana, Luca Reggiani Bonetti

Journal of Pediatric Neurology

The aim of this study was to verify and confirm the close correlation between the absence of the medullary arcuate nucleus and sudden death in a 4-month-old infant. Careful neuropathological examination of the cerebral hemispheres, basal ganglia and cerebellum was irrelevant to the death. The brainstem region, normally occupied by the nuclei was cut into several serial sections so as not to lose any details. The largest median part of the medullary arcuate nucleus was completely absent and only very small groups of residual neurons in its most lateral part were still detectable; the rest of the brainstem showed no …

Area Postrema Syndrome As The Onset Of Neuromyelitis Optica In A Pediatric Patient: Case Report, Juan Martín Mancera-Alzate, Taina Yubelys Brito Hurtado, Christian Andrés Rojas Ceron

Journal of Pediatric Neurology

Introduction: Area postrema syndrome, characterized by nausea, emesis, and persistent hiccups can be initial manifestation of demyelinating diseases of the central nervous system. Clinical case: we report a 4-year-old girl who presented with intractable vomiting that was noted to have signs of demyelination in the area postrema. MRI spine revealed longitudinally extensive myelitis in the cervical and thoracic spine. Neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder was suspected. Serum anti-aquaporin 4 antibodies were positive. Oligoclonal bands in cerebrospinal fluid were negative. Conclusion: Neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorders are extremely rare in the pediatric population, this being the second case reported in Colombia. . It’s …

Opsoclonus In Children: Diagnosis, Etiology And Ophthalmologic Assessment Of Patients At A Tertiary Children’S Hospital, Melissa Yuan, Jacqueline Jeon-Chapman, Tais Estrela, Ryan Gise

Journal of Pediatric Neurology

Introduction: Opsoclonus is often associated with serious neurologic and paraneoplastic pathology. Pediatric ophthalmologists play an important role in its diagnosis. Methods: Retrospective chart review of patients seen for suspicion of opsoclonus. Results: 259 patients were identified for whom opsoclonus was suspected, of which 83 (32%) were found to be true opsoclonus. The ophthalmology consultation changed the course of workup in 44 of the 117 patients that received ophthalmologic evaluation (38%). 16 (9%) were found to have primary ophthalmic diagnoses. Of the 83 children with opsoclonus, 36 (43%) had paraneoplastic opsoclonus-myoclonus-ataxia syndrome (OMAS), 32 (39%) had non-paraneoplastic OMAS, 1 (1.2%) had …

Primary Amoebic Meningoencephalitis (Pam) With Progression To Brain Death Following Naegleria Fowleri Infection In A Teenage Female, Samantha Brener, Stephen Schaffner, Ingrid Y. Camelo, Hasan Samra, Renuka Mehta

Journal of Pediatric Neurology

Background: Naegleria fowleri is a high-temperature freshwater-living amoeba causing PAM by invading nasal epithelium. N. fowleri lives ubiquitously in high-temperature freshwater, but only around 400 cases of PAM have been published worldwide. The mortality rate is 98%. No treatment is 100% effective. Case Presentation: A previously healthy 17-year-old female presented to an urgent care center with fever, headache, sore throat, ear pain, and dizziness. She had swum in freshwater 5 days prior. Her symptoms progressed to altered mental status, photo- and phonophobia, and neck stiffness. Within 4 days, she developed increased intracranial pressure (ICP) and eventually brain death. Two unsuccessful …

Be Alert To Alerd: Acute Leukoencephalopathy With Restricted Diffusion - Atypical Presentation Of A Rare Case, Neena Baby, Sachin Ajith, Lovena Mohammed, Robin Thomas, Anil Kumar Divakar, Poornima Prabhu, Sureshkumar Radhakrishnan

Journal of Pediatric Neurology

Background: Acute leukoencephalopathy with restricted diffusion (ALERD) is a novel entity observed in children with acute encephalopathy. It is characterized by diffusion restriction on MRI, which can be the distinctive and sometimes the only imaging finding. Other routine MRI sequences may appear normal. ALERD can have infectious or noninfectious causes. In this case, we present a patient with infectious ALERD associated with Influenza B virus. Case Presentation: A 10-year-old male presented to the emergency room with a brief history of fever and cough, followed by altered sensorium. He was irritable and ataxic. Neck stiffness was elicited upon examination. An MRI …

Examining Neural Correlates Of Sexual Preferences Between Persian Homo- And Heterosexual Males Using Psychological Assessments And Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging In Specifying Cognitive Map: A Limited And Cross-Sectional Study, Abdollah Khorshidi

Journal of Pediatric Neurology

Although the brain is an important part of a person’s sexual life, little is known about the correlations between sexual response and brain activation. This study examines brain response through clinical testing to reveal a number of brain structures whose activation are relevant to sexual arousal besides psychological testing according to the common traditional values and standards of Iranian society. Based on initial self-report, 25 homosexual and 25 heterosexual males participated in this test to elucidate the identity and sexual trends via Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI-2). Also, an fMRI technique — by presenting distinct homo- and heterosexual sex erotic …

Comprehensive Clinical And Neuroimaging Review Of Posterior Fossa Hemorrhage In Preterm And Term Newborns, Mandy Hsu, Zahra Zhu, Sirajul Islam, Ryan J. Chang, Nouran Hammad, Kalyan C. Bonda, Ermal Aliu, Chintan Gandhi, Gayatra Mainali, Krishnamoorthy Thamburaj, Sunil Naik

Journal of Pediatric Neurology

Posterior fossa hemorrhage (PFH) is a highly morbid condition in preterm and term infants. In this article, we aim to first describe a case of posterior fossa hemorrhage (PFH) and using this example, provide a comprehensive narrative review of the pathophysiology, risk factors, diagnosis, and management of PFH. Management may differ depending on the etiology and based on careful consideration of the risks and benefits of surgical versus conservative management.
