Minimising the dose to the foetus in the treatment of a pregnant patient receiving external beam radiotherapy
Radiation therapy may be used in pregnant women who require treatment for a malignancy. Radiation during pregnancy may increase the risk of malformation in the conceptus. The threshold for these effects has been estimated to be 100mGy. It is important to ensure that radiation dose to the conceptus over the course of the treatment is below the threshold. Several authors have reported radiotherapy of the brain tumour during pregnancy, however there are no reports concerning exposure during pregnancy that may be used to guide the management of women who require radiation therapy of the brain. The presentation outlines the met...

Children often present with infantile spasms after herpetic encephalitis
Summary
PurposeTo determine what epilepsy types occur after herpetic encephalitis and what are the determinant factors for subsequent infantile spasms.
MethodsWe analyzed retrospectively the clinical history of 22 patients, referred to Necker and Saint Vincent de Paul Hospitals (Paris) through the French pediatric epilepsy network from March 1986 to April 2010 and who developed epilepsy some months after herpetic encephalitis. We focused on seizure semiology with video–electroencephalography (EEG) recording, and on neuroradiology and epilepsy follow‐up.
Key FindingsFourteen patients developed pharmacoresistant spasms, ...
