Although Labrune syndrome is a well-known disorder characterized by typical neuroradiological triad, namely leukoencephalopathy, intracranial calcifications and cysts, there are no reports of systemic involvement in this disorder. This paper attempts to describe peculiar clinical manifestation related novel mutation the SNORD118 gene.Clinical examination, brain total-body imaging, neurophysiological ophthalmological investigations were performed. Amplification gene Sanger sequencing...
This study assesses the parents' Willingness To Pay (WTP) for One Stop Anesthesia (OSA). OSA is part of a free screening procedure that determines timing anesthesiological assessment. In OSA-positive patients, preoperative assessment carried out on same day as surgery. The allows patients who have to undergo surgery in pediatric avoid accessing pre-admission clinic.This descriptive cohort study. A sample 106 parents were interviewed directly by means questionnaire. questionnaire builds...
Volitional control of involuntary movements has so far been considered a hallmark tic disorders. However, modulation can also be observed in other hyperkinesias.Here, we present 6 patients with chorea able to suppress their movements, on demand. In 3 them, surface electromyography was used quantify degree suppression and confirmed reduction muscle activity up 68%, during volitional control.This observation represents first step toward description new clinical feature choreic syndromes an...
Summary Objective: Assessing timing efficacy of anesthetic evaluation in pediatric day‐surgery by a diagnostic accuracy study. Aim: Lowering hospital visits patients with negative medical history. Background: Pediatric scheduled for procedures can be categorized, according to their history, two groups. One, the largest, includes healthy and other those conditions that necessitate further evaluation. Materials methods: Clinical data are collected surgeons our department reviewed an...
Background: Self-injurious behaviour has historically been associated with borderline personality disorder. Nevertheless, over recent years, it reported in numerous neurological syndromes, especially hyperkinesias. Case report: Two cases of SCA17 manifested self-injurious behaviour, namely repetitive scratching the skin resulting in severe excoriations. In one them, the abnormal was inability to resist impulse commit act along relief following damage. Discussion: This is first report...
Abstract Background and Aims Chemotherapy‐induced peripheral neurotoxicity (CIPN) is one of the most common dose‐limiting side effects paclitaxel (PTX) treatment. Many age‐related changes have been hypothesized to underlie susceptibility damage or impaired regeneration/repair after nerve injury. The results these studies, however, are inconclusive other potential biomarkers impairment need be investigated. Methods Twenty‐four young (2 months) 24 adult (9 Wistar male rats were randomized...

Meningoencephalocele is defined as an abnormal sac of brain tissue and meninges extending beyond natural skull margins, often leading to cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leakage. When this condition arises in the spheno-ethmoidal region, diagnosis becomes more challenging it can be mistaken for other nasal pathologies, such mucocele. We show case report a non-congenital sphenoethmoidal meningoencephalocele causing rhinoliquoral fistula spontaneous intracranial hypotension. Results: 65-year-old...
We report the case of 22-month-old boy who sustained spontaneous gastric rupture. The patient had an episode nausea and vomiting after a large meal day before admission to our emergency ward. Abdominal ultrasonography revealed free corpuscolate fluid in abdomen. X-ray showed air abdominal cavity, leading diagnosis gastrointestinal perforation. Blood examination metabolic acidosis. An laparotomy detected wide perforation wall involving fundus greater curvature. A sleeve gastrectomy was...
In the aftermath of COVID-19 outbreak, there is a strong need to find strategies monitor SARSCoV-2 transmission. While application screening techniques plays major role this end, evidence challenging real significance seroconversion. We reported case reactivation associated with neurosurgical operation early neuropsychiatric involvement presumably promoted by olfactory and gustatory impairment in first infection.A 57-year-old man was referred for 2-month history progressive development...
