RESUMO

INTRODUCTION: Moyamoya disease is caused because of progressive occlusion of the arterial circle of Willis, leading to a compensatory net-like abnormal vessels development. The objective is to describe the number of cases in our center (tertiary hospital). PATIENTS AND METHODS: Retrospective study. Revision of pediatric medical histories diagnosed of moyamoya disease or moyamoya syndrome (in case of predisposing disease) between 2005 and 2018. Demographic variables were collected, related to diagnosis, risk factors, treatment, and follow-up. RESULTS: Seven cases were collected with a median age of 6 years and an equitable distribution by sex. Five associated predisposing pathologies (Down syndrome, neurofibromatosis, sickle cell disease, Behcet). The main clinical diagnosis was neurological focus (five cases), followed by epileptic seizures (four), and headache (two). One was asymptomatic at diagnosis. Six strokes were documented, five of them were isquemic. The arteriography (goldstardard) was made in five patients. Five presented bilateral involvement of the vessels, the internal carotid arteries and the middle cerebral arteries were the most affected. Six received acetylsalicylic acid treatment and five of them required antiepileptic drugs. Revascularization surgery (encephaloduroarteriomyosinangiosis) was performed in four patients, and in one, strokes persisted. The most prevalent sequelae were hemiparesis and psychomotor retardation. CONCLUSIONS: The risk factors presented in our patients match to those described in the literature. The symptoms at the onset can be diverse and ischemic strokes predominate in our series. Revascularization surgery was effective in more than half of the cases. Subsequent follow-up is necessary to assess complications and sequelae.


TITLE: Enfermedad de moyamoya: descripción de una serie de casos pediátricos.Introducción. La enfermedad de moyamoya se produce por la oclusión de las arterias alrededor del polígono de Willis y genera una amplia red de vasos colaterales. El objetivo es describir la serie histórica de nuestro centro (hospital terciario). Pacientes y métodos. Es un estudio retrospectivo. Se hizo una revisión de historias clínicas de pacientes pediátricos diagnosticados de enfermedad o síndrome de moyamoya (si patología predisponente) entre 2005 y 2018. Se recogieron variables demográficas, relacionadas con el diagnóstico, factores de riesgo, tratamiento y seguimiento. Resultados. Se obtuvieron siete casos, con una mediana de edad de seis años y distribución por sexos equitativa. Cinco asociaban patologías predisponentes (síndrome de Down, neurofibromatosis, drepanocitosis y Behçet). La clínica predominante en el diagnóstico fue focalidad neurológica (cinco casos), seguida de crisis epilépticas (cuatro) y cefalea (dos). Un paciente era asintomático en el momento del diagnóstico. Se documentaron seis ictus, cinco de los cuales fueron isquémicos. La arteriografía (técnica de referencia) constaba en cinco pacientes. Cinco presentaban afectación bilateral y estaban mayormente afectadas las arterias carótidas internas y las cerebrales medias. Seis recibieron tratamiento con ácido acetilsalicílico y cinco necesitaron fármacos antiepilépticos. La cirugía de revascularización (encefaloduroarteriomiosinangiosis) se realizó en cuatro pacientes y en uno persistieron los ictus. Las secuelas más prevalentes fueron hemiparesia y retraso psicomotor. Conclusiones. Los factores de riesgo presentados en nuestros pacientes se ajustan a los descritos en la bibliografía. La clínica en el inicio puede ser diversa y predominan los ictus isquémicos en nuestra serie. La cirugía de revascularización fue efectiva en más de la mitad de los casos. Es necesario un seguimiento posterior para evaluar complicaciones y secuelas.

RESUMO

INTRODUCTION: Megalencephalic leukoencephalopathy with cysts is a leukodystrophy of genetic origin that produces an alteration in the water and ion homeostasis in the brain, generating vacuolar forms and chronic oedema in the white matter with progressive neurological deterioration. It should be suspected in infants who present progressive macrocephaly during the first year of life, motor retardation and characteristic findings in magnetic resonance brain scans. CASE REPORT: We report the case of a girl who was followed up from the age of 9 months due to progressive macrocephaly and delayed psychomotor development and brain MRI findings consistent with megalencephalic leukoencephalopathy with cysts, and the appearance of epilepsy during its development. The usual genetic studies (new generation sequencing and array) were negative, but as the diagnostic criteria were met, a complementary messenger RNA and DNA study was conducted, which confirmed the presence of two pathogenic variants in MLC1. CONCLUSIONS: Megalencephalic leukoencephalopathy with cysts is a rare condition. Progressive macrocephaly in the first year of life, the absence of deterioration or slow deterioration, and the possibility of developing epilepsy, spasticity and ataxia are characteristic signs in its course. It is important for these patients to undergo an imaging test that shows findings that characterise this condition, which, together with the clinical features, makes it possible to differentiate it from other leukodystrophies and to establish a confirmatory diagnosis. Genetic studies can confirm the associated mutation that makes it possible to predict the clinicoradiological phenotype.


TITLE: Leucoencefalopatía megalencefálica con quistes: importancia de la descripción clínica en la era genética.Introducción. La leucoencefalopatía megalencefálica con quistes es una leucodistrofia de origen genético que produce una alteración de la homeostasis del agua e iones en el cerebro, generando formas vacuolares y edema crónico en la sustancia blanca con deterioro neurológico progresivo. Debe sospecharse en los lactantes que presentan macrocefalia progresiva durante el primer año de vida, retraso motor y hallazgos característicos en la resonancia magnética cerebral. Caso clínico. Niña en seguimiento desde los 9 meses por macrocefalia progresiva y retraso del desarrollo psicomotor con presencia en la resonancia magnética cerebral de hallazgos compatibles con leucoencefalopatía megalencefálica con quistes, y aparición de epilepsia en su evolución. Los estudios genéticos habituales (secuenciación de nueva generación y array) fueron negativos, pero, al cumplir los criterios diagnósticos, se procedió al estudio del ARN mensajero y el ADN complementario, que confirmó la presencia de dos variantes patogénicas en MLC1. Conclusiones. La leucoencefalopatía megalencefálica con quistes es una entidad infrecuente. Es característica la macrocefalia progresiva en el primer año de vida, la ausencia de deterioro o deterioro lento, y la posibilidad de desarrollar epilepsia, espasticidad y ataxia en su evolución. Cobra importancia en dichos pacientes la realización de una prueba de imagen que muestre hallazgos propios de la entidad, lo que, junto con la clínica, permite diferenciarla de otras leucodistrofias y establecer un diagnóstico confirmatorio. Los estudios genéticos pueden constatar la mutación asociada que posibilita predecir el fenotipo clinicorradiológico.

RESUMO

INTRODUCTION: HaNDL (headache and neurological deficits with cerebrospinal fluid lymphocytosis) syndrome is a self-limiting benign condition which, as its name suggests, causes episodes of transient neurological deficits of a motor, sensory, aphasic and, less frequently, visual nature lasting several hours, accompanied or followed by moderate-to-severe headache and lymphocytosis of the cerebrospinal fluid. Its incidence is low in adulthood, and it is extremely uncommon in the paediatric age. Recurrence of episodes usually occurs in the first three months. It has an excellent prognosis. CASE REPORT: A 12-year-old female with intense frontal headache that suddenly begins on the tenth day, with clinical signs and symptoms of dysarthria and right hemiparesis with subsequent aphasia and generalised hypotonia. After ruling out other conditions by means of complementary examinations and the clinical course, the patient was finally diagnosed with HaNDL syndrome, since it fulfilled the clinical criteria of the International Headache Society (IHS). CONCLUSIONS: The patient met the criteria established by the IHS for the diagnosis of HaNDL syndrome. The main historical, epidemiological and clinical data are analysed and the differential diagnosis of HaNDL syndrome in the paediatric age is described.


TITLE: Sindrome HaNDL en una niña de 12 años.Introduccion. El sindrome HaNDL (headache and neurologic deficits with cerebrospinal fluid lymphocytosis) es una entidad autolimitada y benigna que cursa, como su nombre indica, con aparicion de episodios de deficits neurologicos transitorios de naturaleza motora, sensitiva o afasica, y menos frecuentemente visual, de varias horas de duracion, acompañados o seguidos de cefalea moderada-grave y linfocitosis del liquido cefalorraquideo. Su incidencia es baja en la edad adulta, y casi excepcional en la edad pediatrica. La recurrencia de los episodios suele producirse en los primeros tres meses. El pronostico es excelente. Caso clinico. Mujer de 12 años con cefalea frontal intensa que inicia en el decimo dia, de forma brusca, clinica de disartria y hemiparesia derecha con posterior afasia e hipotonia generalizada. Tras descartarse mediante exploraciones complementarias y evolucion clinica otras entidades, fue finalmente diagnosticada de sindrome HaNDL, ya que cumplia los criterios clinicos de la Sociedad Internacional de Cefaleas (IHS). Conclusiones. La paciente reunio los criterios de la IHS para el diagnostico de sindrome HaNDL. Se analizan los principales datos historicos, epidemiologicos y clinicos, y se expone el diagnostico diferencial del sindrome HaNDL en la edad pediatrica.

RESUMO

Introducción: El deterioro intelectual y neurológico progresivo (DINP) en la infancia tiene una incidencia de 0,5 por mil nacimientos. Su impacto en lo que a morbimortalidad se refiere es importante. Los objetivos de este trabajo son conocer datos demográficos del DINP, su mortalidad y las principales causas que lo originan. Material y métodos: Se trata de un estudio retrospectivo y multicéntrico llevado a cabo en diferentes hospitales de la Comunidad Valenciana (España). Definición de caso: edad inferior a 18 años con pérdida de habilidades intelectuales o del desarrollo previamente adquiridas de al menos 3 meses de duración. Resultados: Participaron 9 hospitales y se reclutaron un total de 85 casos. La edad media al inicio de los síntomas fue de 1,8 años y al diagnóstico de 3,6. En el 68% de los casos existía un retraso previo al inicio de los síntomas. La mortalidad fue del 16,4%. Se llegó a un diagnóstico en el 74% de los casos. La causa más frecuentemente encontrada fue el síndrome de Rett. El 68% de los casos diagnosticados eran debidos a una metabolopatía. Discusión: La existencia de un retraso del desarrollo previo, así como el inicio tan precoz del proceso, puede dificultar la identificación de un DINP. Al igual que el resto de series, el mayor número de casos diagnosticados corresponde a metabolopatías. Conclusiones: El DINP en la infancia tiene un inicio precoz, con un amplio porcentaje de casos que permanecen sin diagnóstico etiológico y una mortalidad elevada (AU)


Background: Progressive intellectual and neurological deterioration (PIND) in childhood has an incidence of 0.5 per thousand live births. Its impact on morbimortality is important. The aim of this work is to study the epidemiology of PIND and the most important causes of this process. Methods: A retrospective and multicentre study was carried out in different hospitals of the Valencian Community (Spain). Case definition: age less than 18 years with a progressive loss of intellectual or development abilities, previously acquired for at least 3 months. Results: Nine hospitals participated in the study and a total of 85 cases were included. The mean age at the onset of symptoms was 1.8 years, and the mean age at diagnosis was 3.6 years. In 68% of cases there was an intellectual or developmental delay before the onset of symptoms. The mortality rate was 16.4%. A diagnosis was achieved in 74% of the cases. The most frequently found cause was Rett syndrome. More than two-thirds (68%) of diagnosed cases were due to a metabolic disease. Discussion: The existence of a previous development delay and the early onset of the PIND can make it difficult to identify. Like the rest of the series, the largest number of diagnosed cases involved a metabolic disease. Conclusions: PIND has an early onset, and in a large percentage of cases the origin remains unknown and with a high mortality rate (AU)

RESUMO

Introducción: En los últimos años ha aumentado el interés por el ictus en la infancia. La revisión de la literatura aporta poca información sobre factores de riesgo y otros aspectos de interés clínico. El objetivo es describir las características del ictus en niños con el objetivo de identificar factores de riesgo, presentación clínica y el pronóstico. Pacientes y métodos: Se llevó a cabo un estudio retrospectivo entre los pacientes ingresados en el hospital La Fe entre enero de 2000 y septiembre de 2010 con los diagnósticos de ictus, isquémicos o hemorrágicos. Resultados: Un total de 76 pacientes cumplían los criterios de inclusión, 44,7% presentaron un ictus isquémico y 55,3% fue hemorrágico. La edad media de presentación fue de 6,8 años, 8,4 años para los hemorrágicos y 4,7 años para los isquémicos. La cefalea fue el síntoma de presentación más frecuente. El principal factor de riesgo fue la malformación vascular en los ictus hemorrágicos y las vasculopatías y cardiopatías en los isquémicos. En 34 pacientes se llevó a cabo un estudio de trombofilia y en un 64,7%, de estos, el estudio fue positivo. Respecto al pronóstico, el 17% de los pacientes falleció, solamente tres pacientes presentaron una epilepsia secundaria y el 31 y 60% de los infartos hemorrágicos e isquémicos, respectivamente, desarrollaron una hemiparesia. Conclusiones: En este estudio hemos identificado los principales factores de riesgo, así como edad de presentación, sintomatología y pronóstico. Queremos destacar la edad de presentación más precoz en los ictus isquémicos frente a los hemorrágicos(AU)


Introduction: There has been increasing interest in stroke in children in the last few years. A literature review produced little information on risk factors and other clinical questions. The aim of this study is to describe the characteristics of stroke in children, mainly in order to identify the risk factors, clinical presentation and outcomes. Patients and methods: A retrospective study was conducted on patients admitted to the Hospital La Fe in Valencia between January 2000 to September 2010 with the diagnosis of ischaemic or haemorrhagic stroke. Results: A total of 76 patients were identified, of whom 44.7% had an ischaemic stroke and 55.3% had a haemorrhagic one. The average age of presentation was 6.8 years; 8.4 years for haemorrhagic strokes and 4.7 years for ischaemic strokes. Headache was the most frequent symptom of presentation. The most frequent risk factor was vascular malformations in haemorrhagic cerebral stroke, and vascular and cardiac disorders in ischaemic stroke. A study of prothrombotic factors was conducted on 34 patients, which was positive in 64.7% of them. As regards outcome, 17% of the patients died; only 3 patients had a secondary epilepsy, and 31% and 60% of the haemorrhagic and ischaemic stokes, respectively, had a hemiparesis. Conclusions: In this study we identified the principal risk factors as well as, the age of presentation, symptomatology and outcome. We would like to emphasise that the age of presentation was earlier in ischaemic strokes than in haemorrhagic ones(AU)

RESUMO

Introducción: El trastorno por déficit de atención e hiperactividad es el trastorno neuroconductual más frecuente entre la población infantil. El metilfenidato (MTF) es el fármaco utilizado más habitualmente en el tratamiento de dicho trastorno. Es importante conocer los efectos que sobre el sueño puede presentar el MTF debido a la repercusión que tiene un sueño insuficiente sobre la conducta y la función cognitiva en el niño. Objetivo: El objetivo de este trabajo es conocer las repercusiones que sobre el sueño puede tener el MTF, utilizando como instrumento evaluador una encuesta. Metodología: Se trata de un estudio multicéntrico en el que han intervenido seis hospitales de la Comunidad de Valencia. Durante un período de seis meses a todos aquellos pacientes a los que se diagnosticó de trastorno por déficit de atención e hiperactividad se les pasó una encuesta antes de iniciar el tratamiento y tres meses después de iniciar dicho tratamiento. La encuesta utilizada fue una versión abreviada del Pediatric Sleep Questionnaire. Se analizaron las diferencias encontradas. Resultados: Se estudió a un total de 114 niños. Se encontraron diferencias significativas en las preguntas que se asocian con enuresis, sonambulismo y somniloquias, disminuyendo estas parasomnias tras el inicio del tratamiento. El resto de variables no experimentó ningún cambio. Conclusiones: A la luz de nuestros resultados podemos decir que el MTF no solo no empeora el sueño, sino que mejora la calidad del sueño en lo que a parasomnias se refiere (AU)


Introduction: The attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is the most common neuro-behavioural disorder in children and adolescents. Methylphenidate (MPH) is the drug most often used in the treatment of this disorder. It is important to know the effects methylphenidate can have on sleep due to the repercussions that insufficient sleep can have on the behaviour and cognitive function of children and adolescents. Objectives: The purpose of this study was to find out the repercussions that methylphenidate can have on sleep, using a questionnaire. Methodology: This is a multicentre study in which six hospitals in the Valencian Community took part. All those patients who were diagnosed with ADHD over a period of 6 months were given a questionnaire, before starting treatment, and after three months of this treatment. The questionnaire was a version of the Paediatric Sleep Questionnaire. The differences found were analysed. Results: A total of 114 children were studied. Significant differences were found in the questions associated with enuresis, somnambulism and night-wakings, these sleep disorders decreasing after starting the treatment. The rest of variables did not show any changes.Conclusions: According to our results we can say that the MPH not only does not make worse the sleep, but that it improves the quality of the sleep in those patients with sleep disorders (AU)

RESUMO

Introducción: La gastroenteritis pediátrica por rotavirus (GPR) afecta a prácticamente todos los niños de hasta 5 años de edad, lo que conlleva un elevado porcentaje de hospitalizaciones y una gran morbilidad infantil. Pacientes y métodos: Se llevó a cabo un estudio de los costes de la enfermedad a partir de datos epidemiológicos y del uso de recursos en 252 niños con GPR atendidos en el ambulatorio, el servicio de urgencias o el hospital. Para ello se utilizó un cuestionario y diversas bases de datos de costes unitarios. Se estimó el coste por episodio de GPR y para una cohorte de 1.000 pacientes en cada nivel asistencial, considerando los costes directos sanitarios, los costes directos no sanitarios y los costes indirectos desde las perspectivas del Sistema Nacional de Salud (SNS) y de la sociedad. Resultados: Desde la perspectiva de la sociedad, el coste de tratar un episodio de GPR es de 1.551,7 € en el nivel hospitalario, de 408,9 € en urgencias y de 165,9 € en atención primaria. Los costes médicos directos suponen el 81,4% del coste total en el nivel hospitalario y el 53,8% en urgencias, mientras que en atención primaria la pérdida de productividad provoca el 75,3%del gasto total. Conclusiones: La GPR genera un uso considerable de recursos y costes sustanciales desde las perspectivas del SNS y de la sociedad. La prevención efectiva de la GPR a través de un sistema de inmunización infantil podría comportar ahorros importantes para el SNS y la sociedad en general (AU)


Title: Cost of paediatric rotavirus gastroenteritis management in Spain Introduction: Pediatric rotavirus gastroenteritis (RVGE) affects nearly all infants by five years of age, and accounts for a high number of hospitalizations. Patients and methods: A study was conducted in order to assess the costs of the disease in Spain, based on epidemiological data and the use of resources needed for the treatment of 252 children with RVGE attended at primary care, emergency room or hospital settings. A questionnaire was used as well as information on unitary costs. The costs of the disease where calculated per person and for a cohort of 1,000 patients in each level, taking into account direct medical costs, non medical direct costs and indirect costs from the National Health System(NHS) and societal perspectives. Results: From the societal perspective, RVGE has a cost per case of 1,551.7€, 408.9 € and 165.9 € when attended at the hospital, emergency room or primary care settings, respectively. Direct medical costs represent the largest part of the total costs at the Hospital (81.4%) and at the emergency room (53.8%), while at primary care, indirect costs due to loss of productivity are 75.3% of the expenditure. Conclusions: RVGE results in considerable resource utilization in all healthcare settings and substantial costs from NHS and society perspectives. Effective prevention of RVGE, through universal immunisation of infants, could result in substantial savings for both the NHS and the society (AU)
