Congenital abnormalities of the central nervous system.
Advances in genetics and molecular biology have led to a better understanding of the control of central nervous system (CNS) development. It is possible to classify CNS abnormalities according to the developmental stages at which they occur, as is shown below. The careful assessment of patients with these abnormalities is important in order to provide an accurate prognosis and genetic counselling.
متن کاملAudiological chronological findings in children with congenital anomalies of the central nervous system.
OBJECTIVE To determine the frequency of hearing impairment in children with congenital anomalies of the central nervous system (CNS) by using detailed audiological evaluation methods. METHODS The patients were 78 children with congenital anomalies of the CNS with a mean age of 29.5 months. They had been observed for a mean period of 38.5 months. Hearing levels were evaluated behavioral observ...
متن کاملCongenital anomalies and genetic disorders in families of children with central nervous system tumours.
Medical genetic histories of 165 children with primary central nervous system (CNS) tumours and 4599 relatives of these probands were examined to identify birth defects or genetic disorders that may be associated with the aetiology of CNS tumours. Twelve primary malignancies were found in 329 (4%) of the parents of probands. Two of 99 half sibs but no full sibs had malignancies. Twenty-four per...
متن کاملNeonatal head ultrasound: systematic approach to congenital Central Nervous System anomalies. A pictorial essay.
Brain ultrasound is widely used for the screening of prematurely born babies. Although the best imaging modality for the central nervous system anomaly is brain MRI, the first imaging study in the post-natal period is brain ultrasonography in most cases. Anomalies could be found incidentally on screening ultrasound, or in those cases already suspected on prenatal ultrasound. In order not to mis...
متن کاملADENOSINE IN THE CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM
Besides being a metabolite of nucleotides like ATP, adenosine is a mediator of neuronal function in the central nervous system. Its actions are mediated by at least three extracellular receptors. In this review different aspects of adenosine such as biosynthesis, release, inactivation and its receptors are discussed. It also covers pre- and postsynaptic effects as well as postreceptor mecha...
