Hypereosinophilic syndrome causing acute hemiplegia in childhood.
Hypereosinophilic syndrome (HES) is a rare heterogeneous group of disorders, characterized by marked peripheral blood and tissue eosinophilia resulting in end organ damage. This case describes a six-year-old girl child who presented with sudden weakness of right half of body and fever. Computed tomogram of brain showed infarction of left internal capsule and basal ganglia. She had peripheral an...
متن کاملAlternating hemiplegia of childhood: new diagnostic options.
A syndrome of alternating hemiplegia of childhood (AHC) is a rare disorder first presented in 1971. AHC is characterized by transient episodes of hemiplegia affecting either one or both sides of the body. Age of onset is before 18 months and the common earliest manifestations are dystonic or tonic attacks and nystagmus. Hemiplegic episodes last minutes to days and the frequency and duration ten...
متن کاملChild neurology: alternating hemiplegia of childhood.
Jeffrey R. Tenney, MD, PhD Mark B. Schapiro, MD Alternating hemiplegia of childhood (AHC) is a rare disorder characterized by recurrent attacks of hemiplegia affecting either side of the body, abnormalities of ocular movement, movement disorders, and progressive developmental delay. Children with AHC often have a delay in diagnosis or are misdiagnosed. A broad differential diagnosis is necessar...
متن کاملIdiopathic hypereosinophilic syndrome presenting as childhood hemiplegia.
A case of childhood hemiplegia due to idiopathic hypereosinophilic syndrome is reported. There was no cardiac lesion. The neurological complications associated with hypereosinophilic syndrome and the pathophysiological mechanism of neurotoxicity of human eosinophils are discussed. It is likely that the neurological deficit was due to eosinophilic neurotoxicity.
متن کاملA functional correlate of severity in alternating hemiplegia of childhood.
OBJECTIVE Mutations in ATP1A3, the gene that encodes the α3 subunit of the Na(+)/K(+) ATPase, are the primary cause of alternating hemiplegia of childhood (AHC). Correlations between different mutations and AHC severity were recently reported, with E815K identified in severe and D801N and G947R in milder cases. This study aims to explore the molecular pathological mechanisms in AHC and to ident...
