CANS: Childhood acute neuropsychiatric syndromes.
Abstract
The terms Pediatric Autoimmune Neuropsychiatric disorders associated with streptococcal infections (PANDAS), Pediatric acute-onset neuropsychiatric Syndrome (PANS), and Childhood Acute Neuropsychiatric Symptoms (CANS) have been used to describe certain acute onset neuropsychiatric pediatric disorders. This clinical characteristic was unusually abrupt onset of obsessive compulsive symptoms and/or severe eating restrictions and concomitant cognitive, behavioral or neurological symptoms. Because the CANS/PANS criteria define a broad spectrum of neuropsychiatric conditions, the syndrome is presumed to result ...

ATP1A3 spectrum disorders: A video-documented history of 7 genetically confirmed early onset cases.
Abstract
Mutations in the ATP1A3 gene, which encodes the alpha3-subunit of sodium-potassium ATPase, are related to a spectrum of neurological diseases including Rapid onset Dystonia-Parkinsonism (RDP), Alternating Hemiplegia of Childhood (AHC) and Cerebellar ataxia, Areflexia, Pes cavus, Optic atrophy and Sensorineural hearing loss (CAPOS) syndrome. Moreover, an increasing number of patients with intermediate and non classical phenotypes have been reported. Herein we describe 7 patients with 6 different de novo ATP1A3 mutations, and we focus on paroxysmal and chronic movement disorders with the help of video docum...

The relevance of gene panels in movement disorders diagnosis: A lab perspective.
Abstract
Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) is a group of new methods that allow sequencing a variable number of known genes (targeted resequencing) or even the whole human genome (whole genome sequencing-WGS) and have contributed to an exponential genetic knowledge growth, especially in rare diseases, in the past few years. Since 2015, in the Molecular Neurogenetics Unit of Neurological Institute "Carlo Besta", some gene panels have become available to screen all the known genes associated with Movement Disorders (MD) in children and adults as a diagnostic package. Over 221 patients analyzed (part of the ...

Diagnosis and treatment of pediatric onset isolated dystonia.
Abstract
Isolated dystonia refers to a genetic heterogeneous group of progressive conditions with onset of symptoms during childhood or adolescence, progressive course with frequent generalization and marked functional impairment. There are well-known monogenic forms of isolated dystonia with pediatric onset such as DYT1 and DYT6 transmitted with autosomal dominant inheritance and low penetrance. Genetic findings of the past years have widened the etiological spectrum and the phenotype. The recently discovered genes (GNAL, ANO-3, KTM2B) or variant of already known diseases, such as Ataxia-Teleangectasia, are emerg...

Basal ganglia mechanisms in action selection, plasticity, and dystonia.
Abstract
Basal ganglia circuits are organized to selected desired actions and to inhibit potentially competing unwanted actions. This is accomplished through a complex circuitry that is modified through development and learning. Mechanisms of neural plasticity underlying these modifications are increasingly understood, but new mechanisms continue to be discovered. Dystonia, a movement disorder characterized by involuntary muscle contractions that cause abnormal postures and movements. Emerging evidence points to important links between mechanisms of plasticity and the manifestations of dystonia. Investigation of t...

The neuropsychology of basal ganglia.
Abstract
Basal ganglia are subcortical structures specialized at very early age, functionally different according to the right or left side. They are part of complex distributed network composed by parallel segregated loops where specific information are processed and open loops where different information are integrated. These loops are connected to specialized cortical areas thus entering into distributed processing of higher order cognitive functions and behaviours. Lesion or malfunction of basal ganglia nuclei cause deficits in different neuropsychological functions and neurobehavioural diseases, such Autism S...

A novel homozygous MFN2 mutation associated with severe and atypical CMT2 phenotype.
CONCLUSION: The case highlights a very rare mechanism of inheritance for MFN2 mutations and expands the clinical and allelic variance of severe CMT2A phenotype. Moreover, it proposes the involvement of cerebellar peduncles observed at neuroimaging as a novel clue to suspect the diagnosis and address genetic testing.

Abstract
Autoimmune encephalitis with anti-N-methyl-d-aspartate receptor autoantibodies (NMDA-R-Abs) is a recently described disease affecting adult and pediatric patients. Symptoms of the disease are now perfectly described in the adult population but the clinical presentation is less known in young children. The aim of the present study was to describe the clinical presentation and the specificities of symptoms presented by young children with NMDA-R-Abs encephalitis to improve diagnosis of this disease, and to compare these to a series of previously published female adult patients. Fifty cases of children...

ATP1A3-related disorders: An update.
Abstract
Alternating Hemiplegia of Childhood (AHC), Rapid-onset Dystonia Parkinsonism (RDP) and CAPOS syndrome (cerebellar ataxia, areflexia, pes cavus, optic atrophy, and sensorineural hearing loss) are three distinct, yet partially overlapping clinical syndromes that have long been thought to be allelic disorders. From 2004 to 2012, both autosomal dominant and de novo mutations in ATP1A3 have been detected in patients affected by these three conditions. Growing evidence suggests that AHC, RDP and CAPOS syndrome are part of a large and continuously expanding clinical spectrum and share some recurrent clinical fea...

Principles and approaches to the treatment of immune-mediated movement disorders.
Abstract
Immune mediated movement disorders include movement disorders in the context of autoimmune encephalitis such as anti-NMDAR encephalitis, post-infectious autoimmune movement disorders such as Sydenham chorea, paraneoplastic autoimmune movement disorders such as opsoclonus myoclonus ataxia syndrome, and infection triggered conditions such as paediatric acute neuropsychiatric syndrome. This review focuses on the approach to treatment of immune mediated movement disorders, which requires an understanding of the immunopathogenesis, whether the disease is destructive or 'altering', and the natural history of di...

Corticosteroid treatment in Sydenham's chorea.
Abstract
Sydenham's chorea (SC) is an immune-mediated hyperkinetic movement disorder, developing after group A Beta-hemolytic streptococcal (GABHS) infection. Aside from conventional symptomatic treatment (carbamazepine, valproate, neuroleptics), the use of steroids has also been advocated, mainly in severe, drug-resistant cases or if clinically disabling side effects develop with first line therapies. Based on the description of 5 cases followed in the Child Neurology Unit of Santa Maria Nuova Hospital in Reggio Emilia and on the available medical literature on this topic, we propose considering the use of cortic...

SLC19A3 related disorder: Treatment implication and clinical outcome of 2 new patients.
We describe two new patients suffering from BSN due to biallelic SLC19A3 mutations. In the first patient vitamin supplementation was started early on, resulting in the remission of the clinical picture, and an almost complete normalization of the neuroradiological findings. In the second one treatment was started late, compliance was irregular and the resulting clinical outcome was poor. The clinical outcome of our two patients confirms and further stresses the importance of the early administration of vitamin supplementation in all patients presenting with neostriatal lesions, or clear bilateral striatal necrosis.

Review of the phenotype of early-onset generalised progressive dystonia due to mutations in KMT2B.
Abstract
In 2016, two research groups independently identified microdeletions and pathogenic variants in the lysine-specific histone methyltransferase 2B gene, KMT2B in patients with early-onset progressive dystonia. KMT2B-dystonia (DYT28) is emerging as an important and frequent cause of childhood-onset progressive generalised dystonia and is estimated to potentially account for up to 10% of early-onset generalised dystonia. Herein, we review variants in KMT2B associated with dystonia, as well as the clinical phenotype, treatment and underlying disease mechanisms. Furthermore, in context of this newly identified ...

Pediatric stroke related to Lyme neuroborreliosis: Data from the Swiss NeuroPaediatric Stroke Registry and literature review.
CONCLUSIONS: Lyme Neuroborreliosis accounts for a small proportion of paediatric stroke even in an endemic country. The strong predilection towards posterior cerebral circulation with clinical occurrence of brainstem signs associated with meningeal symptoms and CSF lymphocytosis are suggestive features that should rapidly point to the diagnosis. This can confirmed by appropriate serological testing in the serum and CSF. Clinicians must be aware of this rare neurological complication of Lyme disease that demands specific antibiotic treatment.
