    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: We studied collagen expressed by skin fibroblasts in culture, and performed immunocytochemical, ultrastructural and stereological analysis of dermis from a child with signs reminiscent of a mild Ehlers–Danlos syndrome (EDS) type IV and severe periodontitis. No alterations in types I and II collagen synthesis and secretion, or serum levels of type III procollagen aminoterminal propeptide were found, and morphological studies revealed non-specific alterations of collagen and elastic components observed in many connective tissue disorders.

    Notes: Abstract Cerebral cavernous angiomas (CCA) are rare, reportedly accounting for only 1% of all intracranial vascular lesions and 15% of all cerebral vascular malformations. Forms are sporadic or familial, and the mode of inheritance is probably autosomal dominant. We report an unusual case of an infant born at 37 weeks of gestational age following a normal pregnancy. Her birthweight was 1560 g. The family history was negative. At 10 months of age, the child presented with the sudden onset of muscular hypotonia, motility and strength deficits, and absence of osteotendinous reflexes in the right arm. The psychomotor development of the child was normal. MRI revealed the presence of a cavernous angioma in the paramedian pontine region. The child's monoparesis quickly disappeared. This case is interesting because of the age at onset and the way in which the clinical manifestations developed.

    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.

    Description / Table of Contents: Sommario Sono illustrati i risultati di una indagine clinica e polisonnografica sugli aspetti del sonno notturno e della respirazione durante sonno in 8 pazienti affetti da Amiotrofia Spinale (4 maschi, 4 femmine, di età compresa tra 10 e 37 anni) e che mostravano in veglia una sindrome restrittiva toracica ma valori emogasanalitici ancora nei limiti della norma. Nessun paziente riportava disturbi soggettivi del sonno tra quelli suggestivi di un sottostante disordine respiratorio sonno-relato. In 4 pazienti sono state documentate ricorrenti desaturazioni emoglobiniche di O2 sotto il 90% (valore minimo osservato 68%) nel corso della polisonnografia notturna, in relazione ad apnee o ipopnee non ostruttive, principalmente durante sonno REM. L'Indice di Apnea/Ipopnea è risultato essere nei limiti in tutti i pazienti. I dati suggeriscono che una iniziale tendenza alla desaturazione di O2 sonno relata può essere presente in pazienti con Amiotrofia Spinale senza apparenti disturbi clinici del sonno e che mostrano ancora un quadro di compenso emogasanalitico in veglia. L'evoluzione, la rilevanza clinica e dunque il significato prognostico di tali patterns di ipossiemia notturna andranno verificati in studi clinici e polisonnografici più estesi e con sviluppo longitudinale.
    Notes: Abstract A clinical and polygraphic study of nocturnal sleep was performed in 8 (4 males, 4 females; age range 10–37 years) patients with spinal muscular atrophy, whose baseline respiratory function assessment during wakefulness showed restrictive ventilatory syndrome but blood-gas tension within normal limits. No patient reported any significant sleep complaint suggestive of sleepdisordered breathing. However, in 4 patients HbSaO2 desaturations below 90% (HbSaO2 nadir 68%) were detected during nocturnal polysomnography. The HbSaO2 desaturations occurred during brief central apneas or hypopneas, mainly during REM sleep, the apnoea hypopnea index being within normal limits in all cases. The data suggest that nocturnal polysomnography can detect otherwise clinically silent hypoxemia in SMA patients without any predisposing factor to sleep-disordered breathing other than their illness and still showing normal blood-gas tensions during wakefulness. Further studies are needed to determine the long-term evolution and the prognostic significance of nocturnal hypoxemia in these patients.
