Diagnosis and treatment of occipital brain lesions in children
Occipital brain lesions in children represent a diagnostic challenge due to the large spectrum of etiologies and overlapping clinical features. This review analyses common and less common causes of occipital brain lesions in children, including malformative, vascular, genetic/metabolic, infectious, inflammatory, and neoplastic conditions.

ABSTRACT A 4‐year‐old castrated male Pomeranian dog with a 2‐year history of necrotizing encephalitis (NE) presented for acute neurological deterioration without trauma. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed a broad crescent‐shaped lesion with mixed signal intensities on T1‐ and T2‐weighted images, hypointense areas on T2* images, contrast ...

ABSTRACT Uniparental disomy (UPD) is a rare phenomenon in which both copies of a chromosome are inherited from a single parent. This can lead to genomic imprinting disorders and recessive disorders due to the presence of recessive pathogenic variants in both alleles. Additionally, depending on the mechanisms by which UPD occurs, mosaic aneuploidies may

Severe Nerve Enlargement in SOS2‐Related Noonan Syndrome
ABSTRACT Noonan syndrome is a genetic multisystem congenital disorder, caused by pathogenic variants in genes that encode components of the RAS/MAPK signaling pathway. Pathogenic variants in SOS2 represent less than 2% of cases with NS. The phenotype includes a particularly high prevalence (65%) of lymphatic disease. Recently, severe nerve enlargements

ABSTRACT We report a case of hereditary spastic paraplegia type 50, an extremely rare disease characterized by upper motor neuron dysfunction. This case underscores the importance of considering genetic etiologies in patients previously diagnosed with cerebral palsy, especially when clinical history, presentation, and imaging findings are inconsistent ...

A Novel Missense Variant of the ABCD1 Gene in X‐Linked Adrenoleukodystrophy in Chinese Family
This study identifies a novel ABCD1 gene variant (c.773T>G, p.Leu258Arg) linked to X‐linked adrenoleukodystrophy in a Chinese family, demonstrating its pathogenic impact via disrupted peroxisomal localization and impaired fatty acid metabolism, thus expanding the mutation spectrum and advancing molecular diagnosis and familial genetic counseling ...
