Background
Acute encephalopathy with biphasic seizures and late reduced diffusion (AESD) is the most common encephalopathy syndrome among Japanese children. We report, for the first time, a case of AESD, in which magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed no diffusion abnormalities, but hyperperfusion was detected by arterial spin labelling (ASL).
Case report
A previously healthy Japanese 1-year and 5-month-old boy was transferred to our hospital due to a consciousness disorder after >60 min of status epilepticus on the first day of fever. Brain MRI on the first day revealed no abnormal findings. On the fourth day, focal seizures of the left upper and lower limbs were observed. Thereafter, the patient's condition progressed without seizures. Diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) on day 6 showed no abnormal findings, including a bright tree appearance. However, ASL showed hyperperfusion in the frontoparietal lobes. MRI scans on days 19 and 39 revealed that the hyperperfusion lesions on day 6 had transitioned to hypoperfusion on ASL and displayed high signal intensity on T2-weighted and fluid-attenuated inversion recovery imaging. Cerebral atrophy was also observed. Based on the clinical course and imaging findings during the chronic phase, a diagnosis of AESD was made.
Conclusion
ASL may be more sensitive than DWI for detecting AESD lesions and should be performed in children with suspected AESD.

Objective
This study undertook neuropharmacological research on the clinical course of controlled medication discontinuation to guide practitioners who are considering stopping medications for youths with attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).
Methods
This study analyzed the data for 14 ADHD children (12 male and 2 female) in two datasets: The children prescribed methylphenidate (MPH) were at an initial mean age of 7.5 years (SD = 1.70, range: 6–11) with a mean ADHD-Rating Score (ADHD-RS) of 26.6 (SD = 8.64, range 15–40). The children who discontinued MPH based on clinical judgment were at a mean age of 12.21 years (SD = 2.12, range: 8–15) with a mean ADHD-RS of 15.9 (SD = 6.86, range 5–27). The go/no-go task was used to assess response inhibition, while functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) was used to measure cerebral hemodynamics. Oxygenated hemoglobin (Oxy-Hb) values from fNIRS data were analyzed for each subject, focusing on past and current measurements. Baseline was set at 10 s pre-task, with interval means from 4 to 24 s analyzed. One-sample t-tests were used to evaluate brain activity magnitude.
Results
The results of the study demonstrate that the children who had discontinued the medication exhibited activation in specific brain regions including the frontopolar cortex and the right ventrolateral prefrontal cortex. Activation (t = 2.363, p = 0.034, Cohen's d = 0.632) was found especially in the right dorsolateral prefrontal cortex during the performance of the go/no-go task. These activated areas were consistent with those observed in a previous study comparing brain activity during a go/no-go task between children with ADHD and healthy children.
Conclusion
The present study showed differences in cerebral hemodynamics before and after discontinuation of MPH in ADHD children whose ADHD symptoms did not recur after MPH was discontinued. In the near future, further investigations that include control groups will be conducted to demonstrate the effects of MPH prior to discontinuation based on the changes in cerebral blood flow in the right prefrontal cortex, which is involved in behavioral inhibition, as observed in this study. This and future research will facilitate the development of criteria for discontinuing treatment.

There have been few descriptions in the literature on long-term enzyme replacement therapy (ERT) in patients with advanced late-onset Pompe disease (LOPD).
Objectives
This study aimed to assess the efficacy and limitations of ERT in advanced LOPD patients.
Methods
We retrospectively reviewed the clinical courses of patients with advanced LOPD (two juvenile-onset and five adult-onset patients) who were treated with recombinant human alglucosidase alfa to examine improvements achieved with and limitations of ERT until their death or when switching to avalglucosidase alfa occurred.
Results
All patients were non-ambulant and ventilator dependent. The duration of follow-up ranged from 3.7 to 15.0 years (median 9.0 years). All patients reported improvements in their lives during the first two or three years of ERT. Vital capacity was clearly improved in patients with relatively spared respiratory function, although it deteriorated after respiratory complications such as pneumothorax. Pinch and grip power tended to be preserved during the treatment period. Muscle CT revealed progression of atrophy and fatty replacement predominantly in the proximal limb muscles without improvement after ERT. Four patients died due to aspergillosis, respiratory failure, ileus, and sudden death of unknown cause.
Conclusions
Our findings demonstrate that patients undergoing ERT show certain improvements, even in the advanced stage of Pompe disease. Respiratory complications are lethal even during ERT, and early diagnosis and induction of therapy are critical. Muscle wasting progressed more severely in the proximal limbs, even after ERT.

Background
Vici syndrome (VICIS) is a congenital disorder characterized by agenesis of the corpus callosum, cataracts, hypopigmentation, cardiomyopathy, combined immunodeficiency, microcephaly, and failure to thrive. This study aimed to elucidate the number of patients with VICIS, its clinical characteristics and relevant genetic information in Japan.
Methods
After developing diagnostic criteria for VICIS, we conducted a nationwide questionnaire-based survey of VICIS in Japan. In the initial survey, we investigated the number of VICIS patients who fulfilled definite or probable criteria. The second survey was used to obtain detailed clinical and genetic information of VICIS from institutions that responded to the initial survey.
Results
Clinical information was available for 15 patients (12 definite, three probable). As of October 2023, nine patients (60%) were alive and six (40%) had died. All patients presented with developmental delay, agenesis of the corpus callosum, elevated serum aspartate/alanine aminotransferase, hypopigmentation and hypotonia. Developmental delay was profound. Most patients developed recurrent infection, high-arched palate, epilepsy, failure to thrive, and microcephaly. Cardiomyopathy and cataracts, both initially described as principal features in VICIS, were notably uncommon in our study. Based on the information collected, all 14 patients for whom information was available received home medical care: 11 (79%) received tube feeding, three (21%) required noninvasive ventilation, four (29%) required tracheostomy, and four (29%) required home subcutaneous immunoglobulin administration.
Conclusion
This study revealed for the first time the nationwide status of patients with VICIS in Japan. The mortality rate of patients with VICIS is as high as 40%, and almost all VICIS patients require various forms of home medical care, necessitating comprehensive management. Additionally, we identified one adult patient, underscoring the need for comprehensive medical management extending into adulthood for patients with VICIS.

Introduction
Very preterm birth is an important risk factor for autism spectrum disorder (ASD). The aim of this study is the early detection of ASD risk, using a follow-up protocol, in children weighing less than 1500 g at birth or born before 32 weeks of gestation.
Methods
This is a prospective longitudinal study in which a total of 133 very premature babies were monitored to the age of 2 years with the M-CHAT autism screening test and, in the event of a positive result, the Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule (ADOS-2).
Results
53 cases (4 out of 10) screened positive, and the rest negative. Among the positives, the ADOS-2 was administered in 50 cases, of which 24 scored above the ASD cutoff point. The average age of detection was 25.39 months. The results suggest an estimated prevalence of ASD in the very premature population of 18.46 %.
Conclusions
The application of the follow-up protocol in the very premature population is effective for early detection of ASD.

Background: Seizures are commonly reported in patients with myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein antibody-associated cerebral cortical encephalitis (MOG-CCE). However, seizure management during the acute phase has not been established. Case Report: A 9-year-old previously healthy boy presented with fever persisting for approximately 6 days, along with headache and altered consciousness. Plain T2-weighted and fluid-attenuated inversion recovery imaging showed swelling and abnormal hyperintense lesions in the bilateral frontal, parietal, temporal, and insular cortices with left hemisphere predominance. Consciousness disturbance persisted, and focal myoclonic seizures clustered hourly. Seizures were arrested by titrating the thiopental dose but recurred with dose reduction, and the patient exhibited super refractory status epilepticus. Adverse effects due to long-term use of thiopental became apparent. Hence, continuous infusion of ketamine and intrathecal dexamethasone therapy (IT-DEX) was started. After administration of ketamine and IT-DEX, his seizure was arrested promptly. The cerebrospinal fluid and serum at the time of transfer were clear positive for ani-MOG antibody; therefore, the patient was diagnosed with MOG-CCE. The patient received three courses of intravenous methylprednisolone pulse therapy, followed by oral prednisolone gradually tapered over 6 months. He did not experience any relapse for 6 months. Conclusion: In MOG-CCE, some cases may present with super-refractory status epilepticus (SRSE) in the acute phase and be refractory to anti-seizure medication, analogous to febrile infection-related epilepsy syndrome. IT-DEX and continuous infusion ketamine are useful for seizure control in MOG-CCE.
