Childhood neurologic disorders, as a group, include relatively common conditions such migraine (prevalence between 3% and 10.6% in children 3–15 years of age1,2), transient tic disorders (TDs) (3%),3 specifically Tourette syndrome (TS) (0.8%),3 rarer infantile spasms that may occur only about 1,200 infants each year the United States. These account for disproportionately higher number emergency department visits, intensive care admissions, deaths, costs when compared to other childhood...
Background: Acute neurological complications from COVID-19 have been reported in both pediatric and adult populations. Chronic symptoms after recovery adults can include neuropsychiatric sleep symptoms. Persistent children with the multisystem inflammatory syndrome (MIS-C) not studied. Methods: We conducted a single-center retrospective chart review cross-sectional survey of patients diagnosed MIS-C. Patients parents were surveyed on before pandemic, upon admission, 23 weeks (interquartile...
Abstract Responsive neurostimulation (RNS) is an emerging therapy for patients with refractory focal epilepsy who are not candidates surgical resection, limited published experience in the pediatric population. We report a case of multifocal following febrile infection related syndrome (FIRES) which resection was feasible due to independent seizures and risk cognitive deficit, RNS pursued. Relevant data neuropsychological testing results were reviewed. By eight months after implantation,...
Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has been associated with a wide spectrum of symptoms, and neurological complications characterized by anosmia, hypogeusia, seizures, hemorrhagic stroke, neuromuscular problems, encephalopathy have reported in over 30% cases.1Mao L.

<h3>Objective</h3> Hospital readmission is an important quality improvement measure that has not been well-studied in pediatric neurology. We examined predictors of 7-day and 30-day readmissions for patients hospitalized with a neurologic diagnosis. <h3>Methods</h3> This was retrospective study hospital rates neurology admitted to tertiary children9s from January 2017 December 2017. Inclusion criteria were age ≤18 years primary diagnosis on admission, unplanned within 7 or 30 days....
To describe inpatient length of stay patterns, identify key drivers related to prolonged stay, and evaluate the relationship between readmission in pediatric neurology.This was a retrospective review patients <19 years old admitted with principal neurologic diagnosis our hospital January 2017 July 2019. Scheduled admissions lasting >30 days were excluded from analysis. Length obtained addition demographic characteristics, discharge diagnosis, multispecialty care, use multiple antiseizure...
Abstract Introduction Natural history studies of Spinal Muscular Atrophy Type 1 demonstrate that patients typically require non-invasive ventilatory interventions in the first year life for sleep-related disordered breathing (e.g. obstructive sleep apnea, central and hypoventilation) due to progressive development neuromuscular weakness. There are currently no reports analyze effects disease-modifying therapy has on breathing. Methods This descriptive retrospective cohort study will utilize...
Early hospital discharge is an important quality improvement (QI) measure that has not been well studied in pediatric neurology. The objective of our study was to implement strategies improve times for patients admitted the neurology service.This a pilot QI before noon (DBN) tertiary care children's hospital. duration 6 months (12/2017-05/2018)-first 3 preintervention and next postintervention. Strategies focusing on preidentifying MRI candidates those needing home services, identifying...

Central hypoventilation is a rare cause of respiratory failure that has been associated with multiple underlying disorders, including congenital central syndrome, obesity and several neuromuscular conditions. We report the case an adolescent who presented in setting acute demyelinating encephalomyelitis whose clinical history was consistent myopathy whom we found to have Tropomyosin 3 (TPM3) genetic variant on further testing. This expands spectrum causes for late-onset disorder.Stringel V,...
