Opsoclonus-myoclonus in an HIV-infected child on antiretroviral therapy-possible immune reconstitution inflammatory syndrome European Journal of Paediatric Neurology. The exact immunopathogenesis and neuroanatomical localization of opsoclonus-myoclonus ataxia syndrome remains unclear. We describe a 1 year 9 month old girl who, shortly after commencement of highly active antiretroviral therapy developed opsoclonus-myoclonus syndrome and subsequently died of disseminated cytomegalovirus infection. We postulate on the etiological factors that may have played a role in the disease pathogenesis of the patient's opsoclonus-myoclonus ataxia. ... 2005-12-09

Beneficial effects on sleep of vagus nerve stimulation in children with therapy resistant epilepsy European Journal of Paediatric Neurology. The study purpose was to evaluate sleep structure following Vagus Nerve Stimulation (VNS) in 15 children with therapy resistant epilepsy and to correlate possible alterations with changes in epileptiform activity and clinical effects. Fifteen children were examined with ambulatory polysomnographic recordings initially, and after 3 and 9 months of VNS-treatment. Sleep parameters, all-night delta power activity and movement times (MTs), used to account for arousals were estimated... 2005-12-07

Neuromuscular disorders are characterised by progressive muscle weakness, which in time causes functional impairment. To quantify the extent of disease progression, muscle force and functional ability can be measured. Which of these parameters changes most depends on the disease stage... 2005-12-07

Cardiac syncope from occult transposition masquerading as convulsive epilepsy European Journal of Paediatric Neurology. A four-year-old boy on Valproate therapy for a presumed diagnosis of epilepsy presented with a recurrence of tonic spasms. A history of precipitation of these episodes with exercise prompted a search for an underlying cardiac disorder. The child was ultimately diagnosed to have corrected transposition of great arteries with 2:1 atrioventricular block. This case illustrates that cardiac syncope due to underlying congenital heart disease can masquerade as epilepsy in children... 2005-11-23

A 12-year-old boy developed pancreatitis, complicated by a pancreatic pseudocyst, as an adverse reaction to valproic acid (VPA) treatment for epilepsy. Pancreatitis subsided within three weeks after discontinuation of VPA. The pancreatic pseudocyst was managed without surgery and resolved spontaneously in four weeks. Valproic acid was concluded to be the most probable cause, since no other explanation was found. According to the literature VPA is a rare but known cause of pancreatitis... 2005-05-03
