An unusual case of typhus group rickettsial infection presenting as cerebrovascular stroke
Publication date: Available online 10 November 2015 Source:Pediatric Infectious Disease Author(s): C.L. Srinivasa Murthy, P. Namitha, K. Raghavendra, Naveen Kumar, Rajath Pejaver Rickettsial diseases are a group of infections caused by obligate intracellular Gram-negative bacilli and transmitted to man by arthropod vectors. They are prevalent in many parts in India and are characterized by microvasculitis, causing microinfarcts in various organs. 1 Complications of rickettsial infection include pneumonias, renal failures, and neurological involvement. Neurological complications, such as meningitis and meningoencepha...

The effects of malnutrition on cardiac function in African children
Conclusions In this largest study to date, we found no significant difference in cardiac function between hospitalised children with and without severe acute malnutrition. Further study is needed to determine if cardiac function is diminished in unstable malnourished children.

Keeping up with Amanda: Life after brain surgery
In most ways, Amanda LePage is just like any other rambunctious fourth grader. She loves school, dance class, playing basketball and keeping up with her twin sister Macy and older brother Nathan. Sometimes it just takes her a little longer to do these everyday things. That’s because Amanda has been through a lot in her short nine years. Amanda was just 5 months old when she was brought by helicopter to Boston Children’s Hospital for a hemorrhage in her brain from an intracranial aneurysm, a type of vascular malformation. Despite long odds, Amanda survived two life-saving brain surgeries and a massive stroke that left ...

Long term outcome of perinatal stroke.
Abstract Neonatal Arterial Ischemic Stroke (NAIS) affects 6-17 newborns on 100 000-birth term neonates, most of these children keeping long-term motor and cognitive impairments. Based on a literature review, the objectives of this paper are to describe motor and cognitive outcomes after a NAIS and to propose a consensual monitoring of these children to improve their management. About 30 % of children after a NAIS will develop a unilateral cerebral palsy requiring a management by a team with expertise in physical medicine and rehabilitation. Unlike adults, especially after a left NAIS, children will not present aph...

Biological monitoring and other explorations in the acute phase of a neonatal arterial ischemic stroke (excluding hemostasis).
Abstract Neonatal monitoring and other explorations required just after neonatal arterial ischemic stroke (NAIS) diagnosis remain elusive. This review attempts to propose guidelines on this topic. During neonatal period, three major contexts related to NAIS emerge: 1) Metabolic disorders including hypoglycemia; 2) Early post-natal infections; 3) Cardio-vascular anomalies. Different patient profiles have been defined (typical, atypical and at risk profiles). According to these profiles, a final decisional tree including biological monitoring and complementary explorations has been suggested to caregivers. PMID...

Neonatal arterial ischemic stroke: Which thrombotic biological risk factors to investigate and which practical consequences?
Abstract All biological risk factors that have been previously identified to increase the risk of thrombosis in adults, have also been studied in neonates with arterial Ischemic Stroke (NAIS), but most studies were retrospective and included relatively low numbers of affected children. We therefore could not suggest recommendations with a strong level of evidence and only expert proposals potentially useful for clinical practice will be presented in this text. Despite these limitations, the extensive analysis of published data supported that factor V Leiden (FVL) and increased levels of Lp(a) could be significant ...

Recommendations for imaging neonatal ischemic stroke.
Abstract Neuroimaging is critical for the diagnosis of neonatal arterial ischemic stroke (NAIS) and for prognosis estimation. The purpose of this work is to define guidelines of clinical neuroimaging for the diagnosis of NAIS, for the optimization of the imaging timing and for the assessment of the prognostic value of each imaging technique. A systematic search of electronic databases (Medline via Pubmed) for studies whose title and abstract were focused on NAIS has been conducted. One hundred and ten articles were selected and their results were analyzed by three Senior Practitioners of pediatric radiology using ...

Perinatal arterial ischaemic stroke in  term babies
Perinatal arterial ischaemic stroke (PAIS) affects between 1:2300 and 1:4000 births, so most paediatricians and neonatologists will see a number of cases during their working life. The exact cause of PAIS in an individual usually is unknown, and discussion may occur about whether prothrombotic investigations, aspirin or anticoagulation are needed. The causes, investigation and treatment of PAIS are completely different from stroke in the older paediatric and adult group. Outcome tends to be good, although cerebral palsy may be seen in up to 30% of cases, epilepsy in 15 –25% and cognitive problems may also occur.

Precise neonatal arterial ischemic stroke classification with a three-dimensional map of the arterial territories of the neonatal brain.
CONCLUSION: The ATNB map has been proven useful to precisely identify the arterial territories affected by an NAIS, as well as to increase the accuracy of clinical diagnoses. PMID: 31835270 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
