  • Brain Death and the Cervical Spinal Cord: a Confounding Factor for the Clinical Examination
    Spinal Cord (2010) 48, 2–9 & 2010 International Spinal Cord Society All rights reserved 1362-4393/10 $32.00 www.nature.com/sc REVIEW Brain death and the cervical spinal cord: a confounding factor for the clinical examination AR Joffe, N Anton and J Blackwood Department of Pediatrics, Stollery Children’s Hospital, University of Alberta, Edmonton, Alberta, Canada Study design: This study is a systematic review. Objectives: Brain death (BD) is a clinical diagnosis, made by documenting absent brainstem functions, including unresponsive coma and apnea. Cervical spinal cord dysfunction would confound clinical diagnosis of BD. Our objective was to determine whether cervical spinal cord dysfunction is common in BD. Methods: A case of BD showing cervical cord compression on magnetic resonance imaging prompted a literature review from 1965 to 2008 for any reports of cervical spinal cord injury associated with brain herniation or BD. Results: A total of 12 cases of brain herniation in meningitis occurred shortly after a lumbar puncture with acute respiratory arrest and quadriplegia. In total, nine cases of acute brain herniation from various non-meningitis causes resulted in acute quadriplegia. The cases suggest that direct compression of the cervical spinal cord, or the anterior spinal arteries during cerebellar tonsillar herniation cause ischemic injury to the cord. No case series of brain herniation specifically mentioned spinal cord injury, but many survivors had severe disability including spastic limbs. Only two pathological series of BD examined the spinal cord; 56–100% of cases had upper cervical spinal cord damage, suggesting infarction from direct compression of the cord or its arterial blood supply.

  • Alternating Hemiplegia of Childhood Syndrome
    orphananesthesia Anaesthesia recommendations for Alternating Hemiplegia of Childhood syndrome Disease name: Alternating hemiplegia of childhood syndrome (AHC) ICD 10: G98 Synonyms: AHC syndrome (An ATP1A3-related neurologic disorder). AHC was named for its most striking and diagnostic motor symptom; however, the range of manifestations show it to be a CNS disorder affecting function broadly in various brain circuits, heart and the disease evolves with age. Disease summary: AHC is a very rare neurological disorder first described in 1971 which has received increasing interest recently [1]. It is characterized by hemiplegia of either side of the body, paroxysmal tonic or dystonic spells, oculomotor abnormalities and developmental delay.2-4 Onset occurs before 18 months of age. This condition is diagnosed based on the occurrence of the above combination of symptoms, is usually due to de novo pathogenic variant in ATP1A3 and has also been reported in a few families [2-3]. Onset and progression of neurological symptoms have been well characterized. While the course and severity of deficits can vary considerably, there appears to be progression over time, at least in some patients. The differential diagnosis of AHC includes familial hemiplegic migraine (FHM) syndromes (e.g. FHM1-CACNA1A; FHM2-ATP1A2), episodic ataxia type 6, glutamate transporter disorders (SLC1A3), glucose transporter defects, GLUT1 deficiency (SLC2A1), infantile onset epileptic encephalopathies, severe myoclonic epilepsy of infancy (Dravet syn- drome), SCN1A mutations, mitochondrial disorders, and disorders of dopamine biosynthesis/ neurotransmitter disorders. The prevalence has been estimated at 1:1,000,000 with most cases being due to de novo mutations [4-6]. Triggers in AHC and other ATP1A3 related diseases that can induce paroxysmal episodes in AHC are frequent.

  • Necrotizing Enterocolitis in a Newborn Following Intravenous Immunoglobulin Treatment for Haemolytic Disease
    CASE REPORT Necrotizing Enterocolitis in a Newborn Following Intravenous Immunoglobulin Treatment for Haemolytic Disease Semra Kara1, Hulya Ulu-ozkan2, Yavuz Yilmaz2, Fatma Inci Arikan3, Ugur Dilmen4 and Yildiz Dallar Bilge3 ABSTRACT ABO iso-immunization is the most frequent haemolytic disease of the newborn. Treatment depends on the total serum bilirubin level, which may increase very rapidly in the first 48 hours of life in cases of haemolytic disease of the newborn. Phototherapy and, in severe cases, exchange transfusion are used to prevent hyperbilirubinaemic encephalopathy. Intravenous immunoglobulins (IVIG) are used to reduce exchange transfusion. Herein, we present a female newborn who was admitted to the NICU because of ABO immune haemolytic disease. After two courses of 1 g/kg of IVIG infusion, she developed necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC). Administration of IVIG to newborns with significant hyperbilirubinaemia due to ABO haemolytic disease should be cautiously administered and followed for complications.

    EEG IN THE DIAGNOSIS, J Neurol Neurosurg Psychiatry: first published as 10.1136/jnnp.2005.069245 on 16 June 2005. Downloaded from CLASSIFICATION, AND MANAGEMENT ii2 OF PATIENTS WITH EPILEPSY SJMSmith J Neurol Neurosurg Psychiatry 2005;76(Suppl II):ii2–ii7. doi: 10.1136/jnnp.2005.069245 he human electroencephalogram (EEG) was discovered by the German psychiatrist, Hans Berger, in 1929. Its potential applications in epilepsy rapidly became clear, when Gibbs and Tcolleagues in Boston demonstrated 3 per second spike wave discharge in what was then termed petit mal epilepsy. EEG continues to play a central role in diagnosis and management of patients with seizure disorders—in conjunction with the now remarkable variety of other diagnostic techniques developed over the last 30 or so years—because it is a convenient and relatively inexpensive way to demonstrate the physiological manifestations of abnormal cortical excitability that underlie epilepsy. However, the EEG has a number of limitations. Electrical activity recorded by electrodes placed on the scalp or surface of the brain mostly reflects summation of excitatory and inhibitory postsynaptic potentials in apical dendrites of pyramidal neurons in the more superficial layers of the cortex. Quite large areas of cortex—in the order of a few square centimetres—have to be activated synchronously to generate enough potential for changes to be registered at electrodes placed on the scalp. Propagation of electrical activity along physiological pathways or through volume conduction in extracellular spaces may give a misleading impression as to location of the source of the electrical activity. Cortical generators of the many normal and abnormal cortical activities recorded in the EEG are still largely unknown.

  • Delayed Cord Clamping in Red Blood Cell Alloimmunization: Safe, Effective, and Free?
    Editorial Delayed cord clamping in red blood cell alloimmunization: safe, effective, and free? Ryan M. McAdams Department of Pediatrics, University of Washington, Seattle, WA, USA Correspondence to: Ryan M. McAdams, MD, Associate Professor. Division of Neonatology, Department of Pediatrics, University of Washington, Box 356320, Seattle, WA 98195-6320, USA. Email: [email protected]. Abstract: Hemolytic disease of the newborn (HDN), an alloimmune disorder due to maternal and fetal blood type incompatibility, is associated with fetal and neonatal complications related to red blood cell (RBC) hemolysis. After delivery, without placental clearance, neonatal hyperbilirubinemia may develop from ongoing maternal antibody-mediated RBC hemolysis. In cases refractory to intensive phototherapy treatment, exchange transfusions (ET) may be performed to prevent central nervous system damage by reducing circulating bilirubin levels and to replace antibody-coated red blood cells with antigen-negative RBCs. The risks and costs of treating HDN are significant, but appear to be decreased by delayed umbilical cord clamping at birth, a strategy that promotes placental transfusion to the newborn. Compared to immediate cord clamping (ICC), safe and beneficial short-term outcomes have been demonstrated in preterm and term neonates receiving delayed cord clamping (DCC), a practice that may potentially be effective in cases RBC alloimmunization.

Both term (aEEG) has enhanced the neurological monitoring of critically ill infants. and preterm infants may benefit from the clinical application of Limited channel leads are applied to the patient and data are displayed in a aEEG findings. Much similar to continuous monitoring of vital semilogarithmic, time-compressed scale. Several classifications are currently signs, bedside aEEG can help guide decision-making in real time in use to describe patient tracings, incorporating voltage criteria, pattern for infants admitted to the NICU. This article will review the recognition, cyclicity, and the presence or absence of seizures. In term history, classification and application of aEEG in both term and neonates, aEEG has been used to determine the prognosis and treatment for preterm infants. those affected by hypoxic–ischemic encephalopathy, seizures, meningitis and even congenital heart disease. Its application as inclusion criteria for therapeutic hypothermia remains controversial. In preterm infants, Background normative values and patterns corresponding to gestational age are being 2 established. As these standards emerge, the predictive value of aEEG Starting in the 1960s, Maynard et al., developed the first use of increases, especially in the setting of preterm brain injury and an instrument to study cerebral activity in resuscitated patients with intraventricular hemorrhage.
