These case reports discuss two cases of spastic diplegia of prematurity comorbid with juvenile onset bipolar disorder, which highlight some of the diagnostic difficulties in these cases
Abstract:
Cerebral palsy refers to a heterogeneous group of congenital and early acquired brain disorders. Children with cerebral palsy and other brain disorders have an increased rate of psychiatric disorder. The pattern of disorder is not particularly distinctive and no specific association has been found. We report two cases of spastic diplegia of prematurity comorbid with juvenile onset more...

Abstract:
CASE REPORT: An 8-month-old infant with macrocephaly was found to have hydrocephalus and a cystic third ventricular tumour; biopsy of the tumour showed a choroid plexus adenoma. The tumour was attached to the ependymal lining and was strongly adherent to the walls and floor of the anterior third ventricle.

This case report discusses an unusual form of "pseudodominant" inheritance to illustrate how a diagnosis of Friedreich's ataxia in a parent does not preclude the diagnosis in the child.
Abstract:
Friedreich's ataxia (FA) is an autosomal recessive condition caused by a GAA trinucleotide repeat expansion in the X25 gene on chromosome 9. We describe an unusual form of "pseudodominant" inheritance to illustrate how a diagnosis of FA in a parent does not preclude the diagnosis in the child. more...

This case report discusses a 9-year-old girl with focal upper limb neuropathy preceding a diffuse demyelinating process by several years
Abstract:
A 9-year-old girl presented with a 4-week history of right upper limb weakness. Clinical assessment and neurophysiological studies suggested an atypical brachial plexitis. She re-presented 3 1/2 years later with progressive muscle weakness involving both legs and left arm and hand. There had been no interval improvement in her right upper limb. Clinical, neurophysiological and more...

This case report discusses a 6-year-old boy who presented with tic and hemi-chorea associated with Group A beta haemolytic streptococcal infection of the throat
Abstract:
PANDAS (Paediatric Autoimmune Neuropsychiatric Disorder Associated with Streptococcal Infection) is a rare condition first described in 1998. It describes the presence of obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) or tics with an episodic course, and a temporal relationship to Group A beta haemolytic streptococcal infection (GABHS). Recurrent episodes can be disruptive and upsetting for a more...

This case report discusses a 3-year-old boy with a clinical picture of Rasmussen's encephalitis who had clinical, radiological and pathological evidence of brain stem involvement resulting in death
Abstract:
We report a 3-year-old boy with a clinical picture of Rasmussen's encephalitis who had clinical, radiological and pathological evidence of brain stem involvement resulting in death. In addition, there were unexpected neuropathological findings of severe bilateral mesial temporal sclerosis. We discuss the novel finding of brain stem involvement in this condition and the association with more...

This case report discusses two unusual cases of axonal neuropathy associated with short-chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase deficiency are described.
Abstract:
Two unusual cases of axonal neuropathy associated with short-chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase (SCAD) deficiency are described. These two unrelated infants presented with profound generalised weakness, particularly affecting the upper limbs. Clinical examination revealed generalised peripheral hypotonia and weakness, with absent deep tendon reflexes. An axonal polyneuropathy was confirmed on more...
