WHEN THROMBOCYTOPENIA CAN LEAD TO FETAL STROKE?

, , and

ABSTRACT

Fetal stroke is a rare disease that occurs between 14 weeks of gestation and the onset of labor and can be caused by ischemic, thrombotic or hemorrhagic injury produced during pregnancy. One of the maternal conditions associated with fetal stroke is alloimmune thrombocytopenia. This needs to be differentiated from autoimmune thrombocytopenia, a condition in which mothers are previously affected. The neurological consequences of the fetal brain injury may be delayed neurological milestones, cognitive impairment, epilepsy and cortical blindness. Magnetic resonance represents the best diagnostic method to reveal prenatal brain injury.

Keywords: fetal stroke, alloimmune/autoimune thrombocytopenia, intracranial hemorrhage, neurological consequences

ABSTRACT

Stroke remains a leading cause of disability and mortality all over the world despite the efforts made towards improving treatment. Most of the clinical studies have not shown significant beneficial effects in the evaluation of various molecules for their neuroprotection and neurorecovery promoting properties. The new concept of multimodal, pleiotropic drugs has opened new perspectives in this field. This review focuses on clinical stroke studies with biologically active molecules such as erythropoietin, granulocyte-colony stimulating factor and Cerebrolysin.

DEJERINE-SOTTAS SYNDROME WITH EARLY ONSET IN CHILDHOOD

, , , and

ABSTRACT

Dejerine-Sottas syndrome (DSS) is a progressive hypertrophic interstitial neuropathy of childhood characterized by defects in the myelin structure, with motor nerve conduction velocities below 10 m/sec. Thephenotype is genetically heterogeneous with autosomal dominant and autosomal recessive inheritance but “de novo” mutations are also described. Nerve pathology is highly variable. The clinical course is severe, leading tosensory loss, distal followed by proximal weakness, foot deformities, scoliosis and contractures, cranial nerve deficits and occasionally spinal cord compression. In this case study we evaluated a case of DSS at a ten year old boy and we outlined the importance of the electrophysiological investigations together with magnetic resonance neurography in diagnosing the Dejerine-Sottas syndrome.

PEDIATRIC TUMEFACTIVE MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS – A CHALLENGING CASE

, , , and

ABSTRACT

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is an autoimmune inflammatory disease of the central nervous system which is often diagnosed in young adults. We present a case of tumefactive multiple sclerosis in a child, an unusual form of presentation of MS, especially at this age group, delineating the clinical picture, the diagnostic difficulties and the possible therapeutic options we have gathered.

Keywords: multiple sclerosis, child, tumefactive
