Non-ketotic hyperglycaemia and the hemichorea- hemiballismus syndrome – a rare paediatric presentation M P K Hauptfleisch, MB BCh, MMed Paeds, FCPaed (SA), Cert Paed Neuro (SA); J L Rodda, MB BCh, FCPaed (SA) Department of Paediatrics, Faculty of Health Sciences, University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg, South Africa and Chris Hani Baragwanath Academic Hospital, Johannesburg, Africa Corresponding author: M P K Hauptfleisch ([email protected]) Hemichorea-hemiballismus may be due to non-ketotic hyperglycaemia, but this condition has rarely been described in paediatrics. We describe the case of a 13-year-old girl with newly diagnosed type 1 diabetes and acute onset of left-sided choreoathetoid movements. Neuroimaging revealed an area of hyperintensity in the right basal ganglia. Her blood glucose level at the time was 19 mmol/L, and there was no ketonuria. The hemiballismus improved with risperidone and glycaemic control. Repeat neuroimaging 4 months later showed complete resolution of the hyperintensities seen. S Afr J Child Health 2018;12(4):134-136. DOI:10.7196/SAJCH.2018.v12i4.1535 Non-ketotic hyperglycaemic hemichorea-hemiballismus (NKHHC) is a rare, reversible condition, with the clinical and radiological signs usually resolving within 6 months, following correction of hyperglycaemia.[1] The condition has previously been described as specifically affecting the elderly, with very few cases described in children and adolescents.[2] We describe a paediatric patient presenting with the classic clinical and radiological findings of NKHHC. Case A 13-year-old female presented to hospital with severe cramps in her left hand.

  • Upper Extremity Function in Persons with Tetraplegia: Relationships
    Neurorehabilitation and Research Articles Neural Repair Volume 23 Number 5 June 2009 413-421 © 2009 The Author(s) 10.1177/1545968308331143 Upper Extremity Function in Persons with http://nnr.sagepub.com Tetraplegia: Relationships Between Strength, Capacity, and the Spinal Cord Independence Measure Claudia Rudhe, OT, MSc, and Hubertus J. A. van Hedel, PT, PhD Objective. To quantify the relationship between the Spinal Cord Independence Measure III (SCIM III), arm and hand muscle strength, and hand function tests in persons with tetraplegia. Methods. A total of 29 individuals with tetraplegia (motor level between cervical 4 and thoracic 1; sensory-motor complete and incomplete) participated. The total score, category scores, and separate items of the SCIM III were compared to the upper extremity motor score (UEMS), an extended manual muscle test (MMT) for 11 upper extremity muscles, and 6 functional capacity tests of the hand. Spearman’s correlation coefficients (rs) and regression analyses were performed. Results. The SCIM III sum score correlated well with the sum scores of the 3 tests (rs ≥ .76). The SCIM III self-care category correlated better with the tests (rs ≥ .80) compared to the other categories (rs ≤ .72). The SCIM III self-care item “grooming” highly correlated with muscle strength and hand capacity items (rs ≥ .80). A combination of hand muscle tests and the key grasping task explained over 90% of the variability in the self-care category scores. Conclusions. The SCIM III self-care category reflects upper extremity performance as it contains especially useful and valid items that relate to upper extremity function and capacity tests.

  • Traumatic Hemiparesis Associated with Type III Klippel-Feil Syndrome
    online ML Comm www.jkns.or.kr J Korean Neurosurg Soc 42 : 145-148, 2007 Case Report Traumatic Hemiparesis Associated with Jin-Kyu Park, M.D. Type III Klippel-Feil Syndrome Han-Yong Huh, M.D. Kyeong-Sik Ryu, M.D. Chun-Kun Park, M.D. Klippel-Feil Syndrome (KFS) is a complex congenital syndrome of osseous and visceral anomalies. It is mainly associated with multi-level cervical spine fusion with hypermobile normal segments. Therefore, a patient with KFS can be at risk of severe neurological symptoms even after a minor trauma. We report a patient with type III KFS who developed a hemiparesis after a minor trauma and was successfully managed with operation. KEY WORDS : Hemiparesis·Klippel-Feil Syndrome·Trauma. INTRODUCTION Department of Neurosurgery In 1912, Klippel and Feil first described a syndrome that consisted of a clinical triad of short Kangnam St. Mary’s Hospital The Catholic University of Korea neck, limitation in head and neck movements and low posterior hairline. Currently, this Seoul, Korea syndrome called Klippel-Feil syndrome (KFS) is referred to a congenital fusion of two or more vertebrae7). Multi-level fused cervical vertebrae may become symptomatic during the rapid growth of adolescence or in adult life by the entrapment of the brain and/or the spinal cord. The classification of KFS is based on the site and extent of the cervical fusion9). Type I is applied to patients with an extensive cervical and upper thoracic spinal fusion. Type II refers to patients with one or two interspace fusions, often associated with hemivertebrae and occipitio- atlantal fusions.

Email: [email protected]. Background: Krabbe disease (KD) is a rare autosomal recessive lysosomal storage disorder caused by deficiency of the galactocerebrosidase (GALC) enzyme. The adult-onset KD is infrequent, and often presenting with slowly progressive spastic paraplegia. Herein, we describe a two-generation concomitant Chinese pedigree of adult-onset KD in which the proband presented with acute hemiplegia at onset. Methods: We collected the clinical and neuroimaging data of the pedigree. GALC enzyme activity detection and gene analysis were performed to confirm the diagnosis. Moreover, we reviewed all studies available on PubMed to understand the correlationship between phenotype and genotype of the identified mutations.

  • Absence of Hemispatial Neglect Following Right Hemispherectomy in a 7-Year-Old Girl with Neonatal Stroke
    Neurology Asia 2017; 22(2) : 149 – 154 CASE REPORTS Absence of hemispatial neglect following right hemispherectomy in a 7-year-old girl with neonatal stroke *1Jiqing Qiu PhD, *2Yu Cui MD, 3Lichao Sun MD, 1Bin QiPhD, 1Zhanpeng Zhu PhD *JQ Qiu and Y Cui contributed equally to this work Departments of 1Neurosurgery, 2Otolaryngology and 3Emergency Medicine, The First Hospital of Jilin University, Changchun, Jilin, China Abstract Neonatal stroke leads to cognitive deficits that may include hemispatial neglect. Hemispatial neglect is a syndrome after stroke that patients fail to be aware of stimuli on the side of space and body opposite a brain lesion. We report here a 7-year-old girl who suffered neonatal right brain stroke and underwent right hemispherectomy due to refractory epilepsy. Post-surgical observation of the child’s behavior and tests did not show any signs of hemispatial neglect. We concluded the spatial attention function of the child with neonatal stroke might be transferred to the contralateral side during early childhood. Key words: Epilepsy; hemispatial neglect; hemispherectomy; neonatal stroke; child. INTRODUCTION CASE REPORT Approximately one in every 4,000 newborns suffer The patient was a 7-year-old right-handed girl. from neonatal stroke, with a high mortalityrate.1-3 She was delivered with normal body weight. The survivors may develop varying degrees Gestation and delivery were uneventful. There of hemiparesis and low intelligence quotient was no family history of epilepsy. She had coma (IQ). Children with neonatal stroke, especially a few days after birth and was diagnosed with children with hemiplegia, have a high risk of neonatal stroke (Figure 1A-D).
