Wormian bones and dilated scalp veins in an infant with epilepsy
Manjinder Randhawa, Sumeet R Dhawan, Sugantha Kumar, Bhanudeep Singanamala, Anmol Bhatia, Lokesh Saini, Naveen SankhyanJournal of Pediatric Neurosciences 2019 14(2):103-104A three-months boy presented with recurrent seizures. On examination, he was fair, had dilated scalp veins, sparse hypopigmented hair, and was hypotonic. X-ray of the skull showed wormian bones. The child was diagnosed with Menkes disease. The manuscript aims to emphasize dilated scalp veins in diagnosis of Menkes disease. (Source: Journal of Pediatric Neurosciences)

Mild phenotype associated with SLC6A1 gene mutation: A case report with literature review
We describe a boy with an SLC6A1 mutation and a milder phenotype, characterized by a learning disorder without intellectual disability, nonspecific dysmorphisms, and an electroencephalogram picture closely resembling that of myoclonic-atonic epilepsy with brief absence seizures that have appeared during the follow-up, responsive to valproic acid.

Idiopathic central pontine and extrapontine myelinolysis in a child
The objective of this study was to report a case of central pontine and extrapontine myelinolysis in a child, a rare neurological disorder. A diagnosis of demyelination carries important therapeutic and prognostic implications. In most cases, the diagnosis is made clinically and confirmed radiologically. Treatment should be initiated sincerely as severe cases have a dismal prognosis. (Source: Journal of Pediatric Neurosciences)

Amniotic band syndrome associated with exencephaly: A case report and literature review
Aldo Jose F. da SilvaJournal of Pediatric Neurosciences 2019 14(2):94-96Amniotic band syndrome (ABS) is a rare congenital disease with variable manifestations ranging from simple constriction rings at the extremities to major defects such as exencephaly. Here we report the case of a female baby born full term (39 weeks) from a 35-year-old primiparous mother by cesarean section. In addition to the constriction rings at the extremities (fingers), the newborn presented facial malformations and a cranial anomaly suggestive of exencephaly. Supportive treatment was chosen because of the poor prognosis, and the child died 5 month...

Atypical childhood-onset neuroaxonal dystrophy in an Indian girl
Sakshi Jain, Himani Bhasin, Marta Romani, Enza maria Valente, Suvasini SharmaJournal of Pediatric Neurosciences 2019 14(2):90-93A 7-year-old girl presented with progressive walking difficulties, spasticity, and cognitive decline with onset at 3 years of age. No seizures, vision, or hearing impairment were reported. The magnetic resonance imaging of the brain revealed cerebellar atrophy and evidence of iron deposition in the globi pallidi and substantia nigra. The clinico-radiological profile was suggestive of atypical childhood-onset neuroaxonal dystrophy. The patient was found to have compound heterozygous mutations in th...

Primary central nervous system Burkitt lymphoma in HIV positive pediatric patient: A rare case report
Priyanka A Patel, Asha S Anand, Sonia K Parikh, Akash D Patel, Rahul S KulkarniJournal of Pediatric Neurosciences 2019 14(2):86-89Burkitt lymphoma is a high-grade B-cell lymphoma with aggressive course of disease and primarily systemic nodal involvement. Primary Burkitt lymphoma with isolated central nervous system (CNS) involvement and that too in pediatric population has been rarely reported. Here, we present a case of a primary Burkitt lymphoma involving brain in an human immunodeficiency virus–positive pediatric patient who was on antiretroviral therapy. Currently, there are no established protocols or gui...

Etiological profile of afebrile seizures in infants in a tertiary care center from southern India
Conclusion: Etiology was deducible in 92% of children. Seizures due to structural etiology, secondary to perinatal insult followed by metabolic and infections, are important causes. Imaging aids are important in etiological diagnosis. Etiological evaluation should be considered in children following first episode of afebrile seizures, especially in developing countries like India. (Source: Journal of Pediatric Neurosciences)
