OBJECTIVE
Muscle biopsy features of congenital muscular dystrophies (CMD) vary from usual dystrophic picture to normal or nonspecific myopathic picture or prominent fibrosis or striking inflammatory infiltrate, which may lead to diagnostic errors. A series of patients of CMD with significant
BACKGROUND
The neurological manifestations of Crohn's disease are rare, dominated by multiple mononeuropathies, peripheral neuropathies (PN) of axonal and demyelinating types, myopathies and the abnormalities of the white matter. In our study, we aimed to report electrophysiological follow-up of a
Calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) mediates neurogenic inflammation and modulates intestinal motility. The CGRP receptor is a heterodimer of calcitonin receptor-like receptor (CLR) and receptor-associated modifying protein 1. We used RNA interference to elucidate the specific role of CLR in
To describe the clinical, serologic and histologic features of a cohort of patients with brachio-cervical inflammatory myopathy (BCIM) associated with systemic sclerosis (SSc) and unravel disease-specific pathophysiologic mechanisms occurring in these We describe a 41 years old woman who 17 years ago presented hypotonia and proximal muscular weakness in the upper and lower limbs. On neurological examination, the biceps, triceps and Achilles reflexes were absent; the brachioradialis reflexes were decreased and the patellar reflexes were normal.
We report a female infant noticed by her mother to have reduced movements of her right wrist and left foot at birth. This female presented to the Accident and Emergency Department of Queen Elizabeth Hospital, London, UK, aged 6 weeks, with significant weakness of her right wrist and left foot. Her
BACKGROUND
Acute inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (AIDP), also known as Guillain-Barré syndrome, is an immune-mediated polyneuropathy usually triggered by infections or vaccinations. In childhood AIDP is commonly described after the first year of life. Here, we present a case of a newborn
A 34-week floppy preterm infant born to a mother with acute ulcerative colitis presented with a progressive reduction in spontaneous limb movements, severe generalized hypotonia, areflexia, autonomic dysfunction and respiratory failure. Electromyography revealed pronounced denervation activity and
In recent years, there has been an increasing incidence of inflammatory bowel disease in children and adolescents. Neurologic involvement has been mainly reported in adults, and information in pediatrics is based primarily on individual case reports. In this study, we explored the prevalence and
We describe here the case of a boy who presented with pulmonary infections, feeding difficulties due to velopharyngeal insufficiency and gastroesophageal reflux, myopathy, and hypotonia soon after birth. Later, he was also found to have an elevated immunoglobulin (Ig) E and mild eczema and was
BACKGROUND
Inflammatory glaucoma is still a diagnostic and therapeutic dilemma and surgical intervention is always associated with a high risk of failure or reactivation of the inflammatory disease. In this study we prospectively examined the value of transscleral diode laser cyclophotocoagulation
The kinetics of adaptation of the volume of T-lymphocytes and their membrane potential in a hypotonic medium is investigated. It is shown to have a quasiperiodic character. The shortest adaptation period T = 2 min characterizes the adaptation of T-lymphocytes test animals, the most complete
OBJECTIVE
To verify the efficacy of 25-gauge pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) for the management of posteriorly dislocated lens material after complicated cataract extraction and to determine in what patients this approach offers the optimal benefit in terms of efficacy and safety, considering the amount
OBJECTIVE
Idiopathic inflammatory myopathies are very rare in infancy. We present five cases of polymyositis in children in which the clinical variability and difficulty in diagnosis that occurs with this disorder are clearly seen, and analyze their response to steroid treatment.
METHODS
We can
Guillain-Barré Syndrome (GBS) is rare in infancy, and the diagnosis of atypical forms is difficult in this age range. The main differential diagnoses include congenital neuropathy. Biological and electrophysiological investigations remain important to confirm diagnosis and start treatment quickly.
