    Notes: Abstract  Visual information processing for faces were tested by means of the Fagan test of infant intelligence (FTII) in six infants of approximately 12 months of age affected by congenital unilateral brain lesions. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) was used to determine the side and size of the lesions. In addition to the FTII, all infants were submitted to a psychometric evaluation using the Griffiths scales. Visual acuity, visual field, and ocular motility were also assessed. Three infants showed damage in the left hemisphere and three in the right. The severity of the lesions, as revealed by MRI scan, was similar in the two groups. All infants except one had normal or borderline cognitive scores on the Griffiths scales. Conversely, four infants showed abnormal results on the FTII, which were not associated with the severity of the lesions, psychometric scores, or the presence of visual deficits. A preference for stimuli presented on the left side of the screen was found, independent of the side of the lesions. This effect was stronger for novel stimuli. The results of this study confirm the importance of early assessment of neuropsychological functions in infants with focal brain lesions.

    Description / Table of Contents: Sommario L'iperekplexia (o malattia degli startles) è una rara malattia neurologica, su base ereditaria, caratterizzata da una abnorme risposta startle, seguita nella maggior parte dei casi da un temporaneo irrigidimento muscolare generalizzato. Questi attacchi possono far si che il paziente cada rigidamente senza perdita di coscienza. Le risposte startle abnormi in genere iniziano nel corso dei primi anni di vita e sono accompagnate, in tale periodo, da rigidità, mioclonie del sonno, ritardo motorio, rigurgiti e da attacchi di apnea che possono provocare una morte improvvisa. La stiff-baby syndrome è una malattia ereditaria caratterizzata da accentuata rigidità ad esordio neonatale che regredisce gradualmente nel corso dei primi anni di vita. Si osservano inoltre rigurgiti, ritardo motorio e attacchi di irrigidimento muscolare. Vengono descritti quattro nuovi casi di iperexplexia provenienti da due diverse famiglie e un altro bambino con stiff-baby syndrome. Vengono discussi gli aspetti clinici, genetici ed elettrofisiologici di entrambe le patologie, confrontandoli con gli altri casi descritti in letteratura. Si suggerisce la presenza di un continuum tra queste due sindromi ereditarie, spesso confuse con forme epilettiche o con altre patologie.
    Notes: Abstract Hyperekplexia (startle disease) is an unusual, familial, neurological disorder characterized by abnormally enhanced startle response, followed in most cases by momentary generalized muscular stiffness. These attacks may cause the patients to fall rigidly, while remaining fully conscious. Startle symptomatology has generally an onset in infancy and is often accompanied, during the first years of life, by rigidity, sleep myoclonus, motor delay, regurgitation and apneic spells, which may cause sudden death. Stiff-baby syndrome is a familial disorder characterized by marked rigidity, with neonatal onset and gradual reduction during infancy, regurgitations, motor delay and attacks of stiffness. We report 4 new cases of hyperekplexia from two different families and another infant with stiff-baby syndrome discussing clinical, electrophysiological and genetic aspects of both neurological disorders in relation to other reported cases. We suggest a continuum between these familial syndromes, which are often misinterpreted as epilepsy or other disorders.
