    Notes: In this study we evaluate the incidence and clinical characteristics of headache which arise 12-18 months after a cranial trauma in a pediatric age group of subjects. We contacted 217 individuals who had been hospitalized for head injury to return for check-up; of the 138 who responded, there were 86 males and 52 females (mean 9.2 years). The responders were given a complete physical and neurological examination and, in the presence of at least one parent, asked to fill out a headache questionnaire. Twenty-nine per cent suffered from headache, and in 6.5% the headache was migrainous in nature. The 138 patients were split up into three sub-classes in accordance with the nature of the trauma and two sub-classes in accordance with the presence or absence of fractures. The results were then compared with those obtained from a control population (246 patients with a mean age of 8.8 years). An increased headache frequency was found in those patients with average to severe trauma. We conclude that cranial trauma is not likely to be followed by headache unless accompanied by loss of consciousness andor focal neurological signs.

    Notes: A retrospective method was used to estimate the incidence of recurring motion-sickness, cyclic vomiting and abdominal pain considered as different manifestations of a so-called periodic syndrome in 100 migraine sufferers, 100 epileptics and 100 control subjects in the pediatric age group. Such recurrent symptoms are significantly more frequent in those suffering from migraine than in the other two groups. Examination of subgroups of patients affected by particular forms of migraine (classical and common) and of epilepsy (generalized seizures, simple partial seizures, complex partial seizures) contributed little new to our understanding of the nature of periodic syndrome. It is concluded that the above symptoms of periodic syndrome should generally be considered as manifestations of a migrainous rather than of an epileptic disorder.

    Notes: We examined clinical aspects of Benign Paroxysmal Vertigo (BPV) in infancy and its most frequent differential diagnosis, in particular analogies and differences with forms of “migrainous vertigo” (MV) of later onset. During a long-term follow-up of 7 cases of BPV, diagnosed according to the Basser criteria, 5 of 7 BPV cases spontaneously resolved and 6 of 7 patients later developed migraine and other migraine-related symptoms. This course differs from that described for MV only in the age of onset of headache and in the chronological relationship with vertigo. The authors suggest that BPV can be interpreted as a migraine precursor and MV as a migraine equivalent.

    Notes: Abstract The authors describe a case of a 15-year-old girl who presented with a progressive sequence of nocturnal dystonic episodes, generalized seizures, and diurnal dystonic episodes. A diagnosis of nocturnal paroxysmal dystonia has been proposed in view of the association between nocturnal episodes and epileptic seizures, while the diurnal episodes are atypical. Neurophysiological data recorded during critical episodes are reported. A linkage between dystonic attacks and epilepsy is hypothesized.

    Description / Table of Contents: Sommario Viene descritto il caso di una bambina di 3 anni e 6 mesi che ha presentato dall'età di 6 mesi attacchi di emiplegia alternante. Peculiari da un punto di vista etiopatogenetico sembrano essere la presenza di un lieve anello stenosante dell'arteria vertebrale di destra, l'influenza dell'ortostatismo nell'insorgere delle crisi e forse anche le variazioni della pressione atmosferica. Nel controllo delle crisi l'unico farmaco parzialmente efficace è risultato essere la Flunarizina, mentre nessun risultato apprezzabile hanno dato Fenobarbital, Aloperidolo, Nadololo.
    Notes: Abstract We report the case of a 31/2 year old girl who had had attacks of alternating hemiplegia from the age of 6 months. Peculiar features from the etiopathogenetic angle seem to be the presence of a ring of mild stenosis of the vertebral artery on the right side, the influence of the upright posture on the onset of the attacks and perhaps also of variations in atmospheric pressure. The only drug that had some effect was flunarizine. Phenobartbital, haloperidol and nadolol had no appreciable effect.

    Description / Table of Contents: Sommario Gli autori descrivono un caso atipico di Leucodistrofia Metacromatica di tipo giovanile. A 3 anni di distanza dall'esordio clinico la VdC motoria è risultata ancora nella norma, in contrasto con quanto comunemente osservabile in tale patologia. Altro dato inusuale è la normalità del livello delle proteine nel CFS. Tali dati vengono discussi anche alla luce dei risultati della biopsia di nervo surale, che rivela solo modesta compromissione.
    Notes: Abstract We describe an atypical case of juvenile metachromatic leukodystrophy. Motor conduction velocity was still within the normal range 3 years after clinical onset, in contrast to what is commonly found in this disease. Another unusual feature is the normal level of CSF protein. These data are discussed in the light of the sural nerve biopsy findings, which revealed only slight impairment.

    Notes: Abstract The authors studied the patterns by which children and adolescents with spinal amyotrophy face their disease and the psychological difficulties involved. Five case histories regarding forms II and III of spinal amyotrophy are discussed in detail. Intense and recurrent anguish about death and the image of a narcissistically injured self were found to be present in all patients. We believe that these are the emotional elements that are most important in influencing the development of the child's relations with his own mental objects. This should be taken into account in any type of approach to the treatment of patients with this disease.

    Description / Table of Contents: Sommario Molti studi in letteratura confermano l'ipotesi che vede la sindrome periodica come un precursore o un equivalente dell'emicrania. Lo scopo di questo studio è di dimostrare la prevalenza della sindrome periodica in un gruppo di bambini e adolescenti cefalalgici confrontati con un gruppo di controllo. Sono stati considerati 7 sintomi: vomiti ricorrenti e dolori addominali, dolori migranti, febbri ricorrenti senza una causa dimostrata, vertigine, disturbi del sonno e dell'alimentazione. Sono stati studiati 171 bambini divisi in 4 gruppi: 42 emicranici, 37 soggetti con patologia cronica a carico del sistema nervoso, 46 soggetti affetti da patologia a genesi psicosomatica, 46 soggetti sani. La prevalenza dei sintomi è risultata differente rispetto al gruppo di controllo e mostra un pattern simile per gli emicranici e il gruppo di pazienti psicosomatici rispetto all'altro gruppo di controllo. La sindrome periodica può quindi essere considerata predittiva rispetto al seguente sviluppo di una patologia psicosomatica.
    Notes: Abstract Many reports in the literature seem to confirm the hypothesis that the symptoms of periodic syndrome are precursors or the equivalent of migraine: the aim of this study was to assess the prevalence of periodic syndrome in a group of children and adolescents suffering from migraine in comparison with that observed in various control groups. We considered seven symptoms: recurrent vomiting and abdominal pain, migrating limb pain, vertigo, recurrent hyperthermia with no visible cause, sleep disturbances and eating disorders. The study involved 171 children divided into four groups: 42 migraineurs; 37 subjects with chronic nervous pathologies but no psychosomatic symptoms; 46 subjects with a known psychosomatic disease, and 46 healthy subjects. The prevalence of the symptoms in the different control groups was different, although the pattern was more similar in the migraineurs and psychosomatic patients than in the other control groups. The development continuum of the syndrome may support the view that periodic syndrome is predictive of the subsequent development of a psychosomatic pathology.
