The authors present an unusual case in which increased intracranial pressure developed because of multiple-suture craniosynostosis and megaloencephaly in a child with a previously undiagnosed lysosomal storage disease, alpha-D-mannosidase deficiency. This 3-year-old boy presented with a history of
The authors present the case of a 13-year-old boy who experienced frequent disabling episodes of typical postural induced headaches, which revealed a Chiari I malformation, syringomyelia and cervical spinal cord edema. This boy had received a valveless lumboperitoneal (LP) shunt at the age of 18
OBJECTIVE
Intracranial arachnoid cysts are cystic malformations found in both adults and children. While many are asymptomatic, some cause symptoms and warrant surgical treatment. In this prospective population-based study, we aimed to study the short- and long-term outcome after surgical
OBJECTIVE
To investigate the impact of endoscope-assisted microsurgical fenestration on temporal arachnoid cysts, and to determine the advantages and limitations of the technique.
METHODS
Twenty-five children with symptomatic temporal arachnoid cysts were operated via eyebrow supraorbital keyhole
OBJECTIVE
Dural arteriovenous fistulae (dAVF) are rare vascular lesions of the CNS with potentially significant morbidity and mortality. Our experience in the treatment of children with dAVF is reported.
METHODS
Our neurosurgical and neurointerventional pediatric database was retrospectively
Intracranial arachnoid cysts (IACs) can present as congenital asymptomatic lesions that may predispose them to present as an incidental finding during radiographic examination. On the other hand, IACs may also give rise to a series of neurologic symptoms depending on their size and location, such as
We performed a retrospective study of 107 consecutive patients with syndromic forms of craniosynostosis (craniofacial dysostosis) seen by the craniofacial team at the Hospital for Sick Children between 1986 and 1992. There were 51 patients with Crouzon's syndrome, 33 with Apert's syndrome, 8 with
AVMs are congenital malformations of central nervous system blood vessels. The majority of lesions become symptomatic prior to age 40. Hemorrhage and epilepsy are the most frequent presenting symptoms. Disabling headache, transient, progressive, and permanent neurological deficit, heart failure,
BACKGROUND
Craniosynostosis is an abnormal and premature fusion of any cranial suture. Twenty per cent of them involve any specific syndrome with Mendelian transmission; the other 80% are "non syndromic", although but 10-14% of them are genetically transmitted. Using the experience of two patients
BACKGROUND
Since its advent, endoscopic third ventriculostomy (ETV) has been an effective alternative to shunt placement for the treatment of hydrocephalus. The aim of this study was to report the results of our experience with this technique in children in Senegal.
METHODS
This was a retrospective
BACKGROUND
Van Buchem disease (VBD) is a very rare autosomal recessive disease. According to our review of the relevant literature, this article is the first case report of VBD in Taiwan.
UNASSIGNED
A 54-year-old woman developed a protruding chin, frontal bossing, and macrocephaly at the age of 40
OBJECTIVE
The primary objective of this study is to categorize the symptoms associated with brain tumors as diagnosed in the emergency department (ED). The secondary objective is to detail the specific characteristics of these headaches via a subgroup analysis.
METHODS
A retrospective chart review
Glutaric acidemia type 1 (GA-1, OMIM no. 231670) is an autosomal recessive disorder caused by the deficiency of glutaryl-CoA dehydrogenase (GCDH). The subsequent accumulation of the amino acids lysine, hydroxylysine, and tryptophan and their breakdown intermediates can be neurotoxic and particularly
In childhood, widening of Virchow-Robin spaces is rarely secondary to specific progressive disorders, but more often appears in poorly characterized developmental conditions. From data collected in a neuropediatric department, we examined whether clinical data associated with "constitutional
OBJECTIVE
Virchow-Robin spaces are pia-lined extensions of the subarachnoid space surrounding the path of brain vessels. When enlarged, such dilated perivascular spaces are often seen as foci of cerebrospinal fluid signal on MRI or CT scan. These foci are found in patients with miscellaneous
