Conversion disorder in children and adolescents : Clinical features of pseudoneurological symptoms
Introduction Pseudoneurological symptoms are frequent among children consulting in neuropediatrics. Psychogenic origin is often unrecognized, which may cause a major disruption and an increase of medical care expenses.

Neuropathology of Congenital Heart Disease in an Inpatient Autopsy Cohort 2000–2017
Background As a result of medical and surgical advancements in the management of congenital heart disease (CHD), survival rates have improved substantially, which has allowed the focus of CHD management to shift toward neurodevelopmental outcomes ...

Trends in Neuropediatric Physical Therapy [PDF]
Among the various diseases that cause neuromotor deficits in children, the chronic non-progressive encephalopathy [cerebral palsy (CP)] is one of the most frequent. Children affected by PC may present: sensory disorders, cognitive disorders, abnormal patterns of posture, and postural tone change (1).

Epilepsy surgery can achieve seizure freedom in selected pediatric candidates, but reliable postsurgical predictors of seizure freedom are missing. High frequency oscillations (HFO) in scalp EEG are a new and promising biomarker of treatment response ...

Lennox-Gastaut Syndrome: A State of the Art Review. [PDF]
Lennox-Gastaut syndrome (LGS) is a severe age-dependent epileptic encephalopathy usually with onset between 1 and 8 years of age. Functional neuroimaging studies recently introduced the concept of Lennox-Gastaut as "secondary network epilepsy" resulting ...

Short-Term Neurodevelopmental Outcome in Term Neonates Treated with Phenobarbital versus Levetiracetam: A Single-Center Experience [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Phenobarbital (PB) has been traditionally used as the first-line treatment for neonatal seizures. More recently, levetiracetam (LEV) has been increasingly used as a promising newer antiepileptic medication for treatment of seizures in ...

Scalp high‐frequency oscillations differentiate neonates with seizures from healthy neonates
Objective We aimed to investigate (1) whether an automated detector can capture scalp high‐frequency oscillations (HFO) in neonates and (2) whether scalp HFO rates can differentiate neonates with seizures from healthy neonates.

Dynamic imaging of coherent sources reveals different network connectivity underlying the generation and perpetuation of epileptic seizures [PDF]
The concept of focal epilepsies includes a seizure origin in brain regions with hyper synchronous activity (epileptogenic zone and seizure onset zone) and a complex epileptic network of different brain areas involved in the generation, propagation, and ...

Pinpointing brainstem mechanisms responsible for autonomic dysfunction in Rett syndrome:therapeutic perspectives for 5-HT1A agonists [PDF]
Rett syndrome is a neurological disorder caused by loss of function of methyl-CpG-binding protein 2 (MeCP2). Reduced function of this ubiquitous transcriptional regulator has a devastating effect on the central nervous system.
