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

VALPROATE INDUCED SUBCLINICAL HYPOTHYROIDISM IN CHILDREN WITH EPILEPSY

, , and

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.

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
