Comorbidity Of Cerebral Palsy And Bipolar Disorder In Two Adolescents: Case Series, Ayda Beril Nas Ünver, Merve Onat, Esra Çöp

Journal of Pediatric Neurology

Cerebral palsy (CP) is a common condition in children that affects movement and posture due to non-progressive disruptions during cerebral development. Patients with CP are at a higher risk of developing mental health disorders due to social and physical factors. 28%–57% of children diagnosed with CP exhibit psychiatric diagnoses or symptoms. The symptoms of intellectual disability and related behavioral disorders that are often associated with cerebral palsy can be easily confused with the symptoms of a mood disorder. Therefore, there is a possibility of a delay in the diagnostic procedure and the commencement of treatment, which could potentially endanger the …

Psychological Factors And Family Communication In Children And Adolescents With Elimination Disorders, Mehdi Ebrahimi, Hossein Mousavi Nasab, Mehrdad Hosseinpour, Noshirvan Khezri Moghadam

Journal of Pediatric Neurology

Background: Elimination disorders, such as urinary (enuresis) and fecal incontinence (encopresis), involve inappropriate voiding beyond the expected age due to developmental, psychological, or physiological factors. These conditions impact children’s emotional well-being, self-esteem, social functioning, and family relationships. However, few studies have compared psychological functioning and family communication in affected children. This study examines general health, behavioral problems, and mother-child relationships in children with elimination disorders versus healthy peers. Methods: Seventy-two children participated: 25 with urinary incontinence, 24 with fecal incontinence, and 23 healthy controls. Participants were recruited from hospitals in Isfahan. Data were collected using standardized questionnaires: the General Health …

Acute Onset, Relapsing-Remitting Choreiform Movement Disorder In A Girl With 22q11.2 Deletion Syndrome, Sara Brunetti, Silvia Saottini, Anna Molinaro, Patrizia Accorsi, Annarosa Soresina, Michele Frigerio, Elisa Maria Fazzi

Journal of Pediatric Neurology

22q11.2 deletion syndrome (22q11.2DS) is the most common chromosomal microdeletion disorder, presenting with a broad spectrum of congenital abnormalities and neuropsychiatric symptoms. Movement disorder is one of the most common neurological manifestation of the syndrome. The literature reports that early Parkinson's disease and dystonia in particular are associated with the syndrome. We here describe the first known case of choreiform movement disorder in a girl suffering from 22q11.2DS, responsive to tetrabenazine after a relapsing-remitting course.

Infantile Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension: Case Report Of An 8-Month-Old Child, Deniz Yasar, Cihan İnan, Bilge Akkaya, Nesrin Ceylan, Berna Ucan, Nilden Tuygun

Journal of Pediatric Neurology

Background: Idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH), a clinical disorder also known as pseudotumor cerebri, is characterized by increased intracranial pressure of unknown causes. Although it is most commonly observed in young obese women, IIH can also occur in the pediatric population; however, it is exceptionally rare in infancy. Infants do not typically exhibit characteristic signs and symptoms of IIH, making it challenging to diagnose. Additionally, treatment modalities for this disease remain uncertain. Case Description: We report a 8-month-old female admitted to the pediatric emergency department with IIH, to report and emphasize our approach. Our patient presented initially with fever, vomiting and …

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 …

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 …

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.

Extraordinary Or Excessive? Rethinking Nonretroactive Changes In Decisional Law As Grounds For Compassionate Release, Anna Zumbar

Akron Law Review

Federal courts are deeply divided on whether nonretroactive changes in decisional law affecting sentencing are an “extraordinary and compelling reason” for compassionate release under 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(1)(A), The First, Second, Fourth, and Tenth Circuits recognize district courts’ broad discretion to weigh such changes, emphasizing that broad judicial discretion supports consideration of any relevant factors. In contrast, the Sixth, Seventh, Eights, and D.C. Circuits exclude nonretroactive changes in decisional law from consideration, confining “extraordinary and compelling reasons” to narrower circumstances. This circuit split has produced inconsistent outcomes, with similarly situated defendants subject to disparate treatment based solely on geography. The …

Keeping Children Safe: Bring Kayden's Law To Ohio, Christina Woods-Tsiperson

Akron Law Review

After decades of punishing murder-suicide headlines, a growing body of evidence now corroborates what female domestic violence survivors have said for years: that family courts deciding child custody cases disproportionately reject mothers’ allegations of domestic violence and paternal child abuse. From prominent legal scholars to local family law attorneys (and increasingly, investigative reporters), many modern voices contend that mothers specifically face a litany of obstacles in court, including heightened judicial suspicion that they are “parental alienators,” a widespread minimization of coercive control, and state legal standards that  emphasize shared parenting over child safety.

Following the widely publicized murder of seven-year-old …

Unfit For Human Consumption: A Bone To Pick With Boneless Wings, H. Beau Baez

Akron Law Review

This article examines defective food laws after the Ohio Supreme Court held that “boneless” in boneless chicken wings does not mean “without bones.” The result in this case is a man with permanent injuries was precluded from recovering damages after eating a menu item described as “boneless.”

The article begins by discussing the case, Berkheimer v. REKM, and the rationale used by the court for allowing summary judgment against the plaintiff.  Next, the article examines legal history, beginning with 13^th century unwholesome food statutes.  This section demonstrates that the law for unwholesome food, until the 20^th century, …
