Congenital Microcephaly in Two Infants With the Factor V Leiden Mutation

Journal of Child Neurology, 2002
Two infants with congenital microcephaly associated with the factor V Leiden mutation are described. In both cases, brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed cerebral atrophy and porencephalic cystic lesions, which were probably attributable to prenatal cerebral vascular events.

Quantitative MRI Assessment of Gyrification and Brain Volume in Congenital Cytomegalovirus Fetuses and Postnatal Outcome

Prenatal Diagnosis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Quantitative assessment of the impact of cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection on fetal brain development beyond conventional imaging remains limited. We aimed to quantify cortical gyrification and brain volumes in CMV‐exposed fetuses, compare groups with varying severities of conventional MRI findings, and evaluate postnatal outcomes ...

Monogenic and syndromic obesity in children: Clinical recognition, genetics, and precision management

Pediatric Investigation, EarlyView.
Monogenic and syndromic obesity in children often arises from defects in the leptin–melanocortin pathway. Understanding these rare genetic causes not only clarifies mechanisms of appetite regulation but also enables precision therapies, offering hope beyond lifestyle interventions.

Prenatal exome sequencing of fetuses with central nervous system anomalies based on prenatal ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging diagnosis: A retrospective cohort study with a systematic review and meta‐analysis

Acta Obstetricia et Gynecologica Scandinavica, EarlyView.
Prenatal exome sequencing significantly improves diagnostic yield over chromosomal microarray analysis for fetal CNS abnormalities, with a diagnostic yield of 16% in our cohort and 27% in the meta‐analysis. Diagnostic yields vary across different phenotypes. Abstract Introduction Fetal central nervous system (CNS) abnormalities have diverse etiologies,

Doxapram Exposure Was Not Associated With Adverse Neurodevelopmental Outcomes in Very Low Birth Weight Infants: A Monocentric Retrospective Cohort Study

Acta Paediatrica, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Aim Doxapram is used as an additional therapy for apnea of prematurity when standard treatments such as caffeine or continuous positive airway pressure are insufficient, but its impact on long‐term neurodevelopment remains uncertain. This study evaluated the association between Doxapram exposure and neurodevelopmental outcomes in very low ...
