Opsoclonus in Pediatric Patients: Differential Diagnosis and a Practical Approach to Evaluation
ABSTRACT Opsoclonus is an ocular dyskinesia characterized by involuntary, arrhythmic, multidirectional saccades. In pediatrics, opsoclonus is most commonly attributed to the rare neuroinflammatory disorder opsoclonus‐myoclonus‐ataxia syndrome (OMAS), typically considered a paraneoplastic syndrome associated with neural crest tumors. However, opsoclonus

Abstract The 15q11.2 microdeletion is a chromosomal condition associated with a broad epileptic phenotype. It is differentiated from Angelman syndrome, which is typically a larger maternal deletion in an overlapping area. We describe a patient with a 15q11.2 microdeletion that has clinical and EEG biomarker features similar to those seen in Angelman ...

Noradrenergic blockade prevents attacks in a model of episodic dysfunction caused by a channelopathy
Episodic neurological dysfunction often results from ion channel gene mutations. Despite knowledge of the mutations, the factors that precipitate attacks in channelopathies are not clear.

Abstract Pathogenic SV2A gene variants have been reported as causes of epilepsy and are often associated with drug resistance and susceptibility to fever‐related seizures. No highly effective treatments have been established for this condition. We report a female patient with a family history of epilepsy who developed generalized seizures associated ...

Cerebellar ataxias and functional movement disorders: navigating clinical overlap
Background Functional movement disorders (FMDs) are commonly classified along canonical non-ataxic movement disorder patterns, creating a potential blind spot for frequently observed ataxia-like presentations. At the same time, normal diagnostic findings

Oligogenic inheritance in epilepsy: A systematic exome‐wide analysis
Abstract Objective Genetic factors contribute to the majority of epilepsies, but the exact genetic cause remains unknown in most patients. Incomplete penetrance and variable expressivity are frequent, and recent studies showed a burden of deleterious variants in epilepsy genes, suggesting a role for oligogenic inheritance.

Cerebral oedema in episodic ataxia
We report a patient with episodic ataxia (presumably of type 2) who developed cerebral oedema secondary to a common infection (presumably viral). Cerebral oedema may be a part of the clinical spectrum of familial episodic ataxia and argues for an overlap
