Introduction

Seizures are a common symptom of pediatric high-grade gliomas (pHGG). This study aimed to characterize these seizures in the context of the underlying tumor disease in this age group.

Methods

We retrospectively analysed the medical files of children and adolescents treated in the University Hospital Erlangen for high-grade glioma between January 2000 and May 2021 and collected data including age, sex, tumor location, histopathology, extent of initial resection, tumor recurrence, seizure characteristics, EEG findings, seizure and oncological treatment, and seizure control.

Results

Our study included 39 children (14 boys, 35.9 %) diagnosed with high-grade glioma. The median age at diagnosis was 8.5 years (range 0–17 years), and the median follow-up interval was 353 days (range 28–9146 days). 16 children had supratentorial and 23 infratentorial gliomas. 17 children (43.6 %) experienced seizures of which 10/17 (58.8 %) had supratentorial tumors. 5 of these children (20 % of all patients with epilepsy and 12.8 % of the entire cohort) presented with seizures as the first sign. 11/17 children (64.7 %) had recurrent seizures. Status epilepticus occurred in one child (2.6 %). EEG was performed in 29 patients with interictal epileptiform discharges in 4/29 (13.8 %).

Conclusions

Present data show a high incidence of seizures in pHGG associated with supratentorial but also infratentorial location. The pediatric incidence was comparable to that in adults. The majority of the children developed repetitive seizures.
癫痫发作是小儿高级胶质瘤(pHGG)的常见症状。本研究的目的是表征这些癫痫发作的背景下,潜在的肿瘤疾病在这个年龄组。方法:回顾性分析2000年1月至2021年5月在埃尔兰根大学医院治疗的儿童和青少年高级别胶质瘤的医疗档案,收集年龄、性别、肿瘤位置、组织病理学、初始切除程度、肿瘤复发、癫痫发作特征、脑电图表现、癫痫和肿瘤治疗、癫痫控制等资料。结果:我们的研究包括39名被诊断为高度胶质瘤的儿童(14名男孩,35.9%)。诊断时的中位年龄为8.5岁(范围0-17岁),中位随访间隔为353天(范围28-9146天)。16例患儿为幕上胶质瘤,23例为幕下胶质瘤。17例患儿(43.6%)有癫痫发作,其中10/17例患儿(58.8%)有幕上肿瘤。其中5名儿童(占所有癫痫患者的20%,占整个队列的12.8%)以癫痫发作为第一症状。11/17(64.7%)患儿反复发作。1例儿童发生癫痫持续状态(2.6%)。29例癫痫样间歇放电患者于4月29日(13.8%)行脑电图。结论:目前的数据显示pHGG癫痫发作的高发生率与幕上和幕下位置有关。儿童的发病率与成人相当。大多数儿童出现了反复发作。

Introduction/aims

Myotonic dystrophy type 1 (DM1) is the most common adult muscular dystrophy, with variable pediatric presentations. Data on quality of life (QoL) and fatigue in children are limited. This study evaluated clinical features, QoL, and fatigue in pediatric DM1.

Materials and methods

We conducted a cross-sectional study of 24 children with genetically confirmed DM1 followed at a tertiary pediatric neuromuscular clinic between January 2020 and January 2024. Clinical data were retrospectively reviewed, and patients were categorized into congenital, childhood-onset, or juvenile-onset subtypes. QoL and fatigue were assessed using the Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory (PedsQL) Generic Core Scales, Neuromuscular Module, and Multidimensional Fatigue Module, with both parent-proxy and self-reports obtained during routine visits.

Results

The cohort (median age 14 years, IQR:8.5–15.75) comprised congenital (n = 4), childhood-onset (n = 11), and juvenile-onset (n = 9) cases. The most common presenting symptoms were hand stiffness(75 %), weakness(54 %), and learning difficulties(50 %). Intellectual disability or learning difficulties were present in 79 %. Multisystem involvement included cardiac (25 %), respiratory (17 %), gastrointestinal (42 %), and ophthalmologic (42 %) complications. Parent-proxy reports revealed reduced QoL across all subgroups (median total scores 43.5–62.0 vs. ≥80 in healthy children). Fatigue was prominent, with sleep/rest fatigue most impaired, particularly in juvenile-onset patients (median 20.8 vs. 79.2 in childhood-onset, p = 0.007).

Discussion

Children with DM1 exhibit significant multisystem morbidity and marked impairments in QoL and fatigue. Cognitive and behavioral difficulties are prevalent, supporting the need for routine neuropsychological assessment and educational support. Multidisciplinary care should incorporate systematic QoL and fatigue evaluation, with targeted interventions such as sleep management to optimize long-term outcomes.
介绍/目的1型肌强直性营养不良(DM1)是最常见的成人肌肉营养不良,在儿童中有不同的表现。关于儿童生活质量(QoL)和疲劳的数据有限。本研究评估了儿童DM1的临床特征、生活质量和疲劳。材料和方法我们在2020年1月至2024年1月期间在一家三级儿科神经肌肉诊所对24名遗传确诊的DM1儿童进行了横断面研究。回顾性回顾临床资料,并将患者分为先天性、儿童期发病或青少年发病亚型。使用儿科生活质量量表(PedsQL)通用核心量表、神经肌肉模块和多维疲劳模块评估生活质量和疲劳,并在常规访问中获得父母代理和自我报告。结果队列(中位年龄14岁,IQR: 8.5-15.75)包括先天性(n = 4)、儿童期发病(n = 11)和青少年发病(n = 9)病例。最常见的症状是手部僵硬(75%)、无力(54%)和学习困难(50%)。有智力残疾或学习困难的占79%。多系统累及包括心脏(25%)、呼吸(17%)、胃肠道(42%)和眼科(42%)并发症。家长代理报告显示,所有亚组的生活质量均有所降低(中位总分43.5-62.0,健康儿童总分≥80)。疲劳是突出的,睡眠/休息疲劳受损最严重,特别是在青少年发病的患者(中位20.8 vs儿童发病的79.2,p = 0.007)。DM1患儿表现出明显的多系统发病率和明显的生活质量和疲劳损害。认知和行为障碍普遍存在,因此需要常规的神经心理学评估和教育支持。多学科护理应包括系统的生活质量和疲劳评估,并有针对性的干预措施,如睡眠管理,以优化长期结果。

Objective

Paediatric autoimmune encephalitis and acute disseminated encephalomyelitis (ADEM) are neuroinflammatory disorders that can cause acute MRI abnormalities. Recent analyses suggest brain volume reductions months to years after disease onset. This study aimed to verify whether decreased gray matter thickness would also be observed in whole-brain cortical thickness as well as in temporal polar and orbitofrontal cortices.

Methods

A cohort of children previously diagnosed with autoimmune encephalitis (including anti-NMDA encephalitis and ADEM) were recruited at least two years after initial presentation and a cohort of typically developing children with no known neurological conditions. Cortical thickness across the whole-brain and in each region-of-interest was measured from T1w MRI scans using Freesurfer.

Results

MRI scans from 12 children with autoimmune encephalitis (mean age = 10.5; 8F:4M) and 48 controls (mean age = 10.7; 23F 25M) were analysed. The autoimmune encephalitis group had lower cortical thickness in a cluster covering the top part of the left superior occipital gyrus and the bottom part of the left superior parietal lobule (cluster size = 681.55 mm2; corrected cluster-wise p = .00459; cluster-wise Cohen's d = −8.3773). No multivariate effect on the cortical thickness of the regions-of-interest was found (Roy's Largest Root = .095, F(df) = 1.207(4); p = .319; partial η2 = .087). A small univariate effect was observed, with autoimmune encephalitis predicting lower left orbitofrontal thickness (F = 4.407, p = .040, Partial η2 = .075).

Interpretation

Children with autoimmune encephalitis may be subject to local cortical thinning in the long term.
目的:小儿自身免疫性脑炎和急性播散性脑脊髓炎(ADEM)是可引起急性MRI异常的神经炎性疾病。最近的分析表明,脑容量在疾病发作后数月至数年减少。本研究旨在验证灰质厚度的减少是否也会在全脑皮层以及颞极和眶额皮质中观察到。方法:一组先前诊断为自身免疫性脑炎(包括抗nmda脑炎和ADEM)的儿童在首次就诊后至少两年被招募,另一组是没有已知神经系统疾病的典型发育儿童。通过使用Freesurfer进行T1w MRI扫描,测量整个大脑和每个感兴趣区域的皮质厚度。结果:分析了12例自身免疫性脑炎患儿(平均年龄= 10.5;8F:4M)和48例对照(平均年龄= 10.7;23F: 25M)的MRI扫描结果。自身免疫性脑炎组在覆盖左侧枕上回顶部和左侧顶叶上小叶底部的簇中皮层厚度较低(簇大小= 681.55 mm2;校正簇明智之举p = 0.00459;簇明智之举Cohen's d = -8.3773)。没有发现对感兴趣区域皮质厚度的多变量影响(罗伊最大根= 0.095,F(df) = 1.207(4);p = .319;偏η2 = 0.087)。观察到一个小的单变量效应,自身免疫性脑炎预测左下眶额厚度(F = 4.407, p = 0.040,部分η2 = 0.075)。解释:患有自身免疫性脑炎的儿童长期可能会出现局部皮质变薄。

Background

Fatigue, depression, and decreased health-related quality of life (HRQoL) are commonly reported among patients with pediatric-onset multiple sclerosis (POMS). However, their interplay and distinct manifestations remain insufficiently understood.

Objective

This study aimed to assess fatigue, depressive symptoms, and HRQoL in a well-characterized cohort of POMS patients in comparison to age- and sex-matched healthy controls (HCs).

Methods

Participants completed the Fatigue Severity Scale (FSS), the 36-Item Short Form Survey (SF-36), and the Revised Children's Anxiety and Depression Scale (RCADS). Comparative analyses between groups were conducted using standard parametric and non-parametric statistical tests.

Results

A total of 41 patients with POMS (mean age: 17.98 ± 1.94 years; 75.6 % female) and 35 healthy controls (mean age: 17.43 ± 1.17 years; 60 % female) were enrolled. Fatigue was significantly more prevalent and severe in the POMS group, as evidenced by higher FSS scores (p = 0.006) and increased fatigue rates (22 % vs. 2.8 %, p = 0.026). No significant between-group differences were found in depression or anxiety scores (p > 0.05). In the SF-36, POMS patients exhibited significantly lower vitality (p = 0.009) and general health scores (p = 0.001), whereas other domains remained comparable.

Conclusion

Fatigue and reduced perceptions of vitality and general health are prominent concerns in POMS, even in the absence of overt depressive or anxiety symptoms. These findings underscore the need for early integration of psychological assessments and fatigue-specific interventions within multidisciplinary care to enhance long-term quality of life.
背景:疲劳、抑郁和健康相关生活质量(HRQoL)下降是儿科起病多发性硬化症(POMS)患者中常见的报道。然而,它们的相互作用和不同的表现仍然没有得到充分的了解。目的:本研究旨在评估POMS患者的疲劳、抑郁症状和HRQoL,并将其与年龄和性别匹配的健康对照组(hc)进行比较。方法:参与者完成疲劳严重程度量表(FSS)、36项简短表格调查(SF-36)和修订儿童焦虑和抑郁量表(RCADS)。采用标准参数和非参数统计检验进行组间比较分析。结果:共纳入41例POMS患者(平均年龄:17.98±1.94岁,女性占75.6%)和35例健康对照(平均年龄:17.43±1.17岁,女性占60%)。疲劳在POMS组中更为普遍和严重,FSS评分更高(p = 0.006),疲劳率增加(22%对2.8%,p = 0.026)。抑郁、焦虑评分组间差异无统计学意义(p < 0.05)。在SF-36中,POMS患者表现出明显较低的活力(p = 0.009)和一般健康得分(p = 0.001),而其他领域保持可比性。结论:即使在没有明显抑郁或焦虑症状的情况下,疲劳和活力和一般健康状况的降低也是POMS的突出问题。这些发现强调了在多学科护理中早期整合心理评估和疲劳特异性干预的必要性,以提高长期生活质量。

Aim

Patients with Severe Neurological Impairment (SNI) have progressive conditions of the central nervous system, resulting in permanent cognitive and motor disabilities and enduring hypercomplexity. This study aimed to explore clinicians’ shared psychosocial experience of caring for families of children with SNI, including the challenges, and components of care that bring clinicians meaning and purpose, to identify resource pathways to sustain clinicians.

Method

We purposively recruited multidisciplinary clinicians with expertise caring for patients with SNI to participate in a series of four sequential and semi-structured reflective practice workshops. We recorded workshops and performed a qualitative content analysis, following verbatim transcription.

Results

We conducted sixteen workshops with multidisciplinary clinicians including paediatricians (n = 14), paediatric neurologists (n = 5), allied health professionals (n = 3), clinical geneticists (n = 2), clinical nurse specialists (n = 2), a paediatric nephrologist (n = 1), a neurosurgeon (n = 1) and a metabolic specialist (n = 1). Workshops focused on three primary domains: ‘the struggle’, ‘making a difference’ and ‘finding purpose and meaning’. Clinicians acknowledged psychosocial challenges and the limits to their medical expertise, emphasising the importance of ongoing reflective practice and proactive multidisciplinary collaboration to sustain themselves and empower patients. In the final workshop series, clinicians identified their preferences for multipronged, multimodal resources, centred on connection, reflection, and support.

Conclusion

This research provides in-depth insight into how multidisciplinary clinicians caring for patients with SNI cope with challenges and gain meaning and purpose in their role.
Co-designed clinician interventions, coupled with integrated and structured reflective practice will address identified challenges and foster clinician meaning and purpose, in supporting their patients.
目的:重度神经损伤(SNI)患者具有中枢神经系统进行性疾病,导致永久性认知和运动障碍以及持久的超复杂性。本研究旨在探讨临床医生在照顾SNI儿童家庭方面的共同心理社会经验,包括挑战,以及为临床医生带来意义和目的的护理组成部分,以确定支持临床医生的资源途径。方法:我们有目的地招募具有SNI患者专业知识的多学科临床医生参加一系列四个顺序和半结构化的反思性实践研讨会。我们记录了研讨会并进行了定性内容分析,并逐字抄写。结果:我们与多学科临床医生进行了16次研讨会,包括儿科医生(n = 14)、儿科神经科医生(n = 5)、联合卫生专业人员(n = 3)、临床遗传学家(n = 2)、临床护理专家(n = 2)、儿科肾病专家(n = 1)、神经外科医生(n = 1)和代谢专家(n = 1)。研讨会集中在三个主要领域:“奋斗”、“有所作为”和“寻找目标和意义”。临床医生承认社会心理挑战和他们的医疗专业知识的局限性,强调持续的反思实践和积极的多学科合作的重要性,以维持自己和赋予患者权力。在最后的研讨会系列中,临床医生确定了他们对多管齐下、多模式资源的偏好,以联系、反思和支持为中心。结论:本研究深入了解了多学科临床医生如何照顾SNI患者应对挑战并获得其角色的意义和目的。共同设计的临床医生干预措施,加上整合和结构化的反思实践,将解决已确定的挑战,并培养临床医生的意义和目的,以支持他们的病人。
