Impact of newborn screening for fatty acid oxidation disorders on neurological outcome: A Belgian retrospective and multicentric study
This article sought to provide a comprehensive overview of how NBS implementation in Southern Belgium has dramatically improved the neurological outcome of patients with FAO disorders by preventing metabolic crises and death. Further investigations are needed to better understand the physiopathology of long-term complications in order to improve the quality of life of patients and to ensure optimal management.PMID:38377647 | DOI:10.1016/j.ejpn.2024.02.003 (Source: European Journal of Paediatric Neurology)

Symptomatic polycystic liver disease: a rare indication of hepatectomy
We present the case of forty-four-year-old woman with autosomal dominant Polycystic liver disease (PLD) without kidney disease diagnosed for 18 years ago. She experienced progressive abdominal distension and malnutrition over the previous twelve months. The patient had no other comorbidities. Physical examination revealed an 8 cm hepatomegaly in the right hypochondrium region. Liver function analysis was normal. CT scan showed multiple liver cysts with smooth and regular walls, predominantly in the right lobe which was considered as type III according to Gigot´s classification.
