Eyeing the spots and the spot in the eye: GM1 gangliosidosis
We describe an 11-month-old girl with the classical “Hurler phenotype” who was referred to us with a diagnosis of mucopolysaccharidosis. But on “eyeing” the extensive Mongolian spots on the back and the cherry red spot in the eye, GM1 gangliosidosis were suspected and confirmed by enzyme assay. Examination of the fundus and the presence of extensive Mongolian spots can provide valuable clues to the diagnosis of metabolic disorders. (Source: Journal of Pediatric Neurosciences)

Rhabdomyosarcoma of middle ear: No longer a radiological surprise!
Shilpa Sankhe, Ayush Jain, Subhash YadavJournal of Pediatric Neurosciences 2022 17(1):82-84An eight-year-old girl presented to the outpatient department with a history of decreased hearing from the right ear, bloody ear discharge, and facial deviation to the left side. On clinical examination, she was afebrile with conductive right-sided hearing loss. With a primary diagnosis of unsafe type of chronic suppurative otitis media in mind, computed tomography scan of the temporal bone was performed which showed an aggressive destructive lesion in the petrous temporal bone. Magnetic resonance imaging was then performed to look f...

Concurrent Guillain-Barr & #233; syndrome and acute disseminated encephalomyelitis in a child: A case report from Bangladesh
Kanij Fatema, Md Mizanur Rahman, Shaheen AkhterJournal of Pediatric Neurosciences 2022 17(1):75-78Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS) and acute disseminated encephalomyelitis (ADEM) are postinfectious, inflammatory, and neurological disorders involving the peripheral and central nervous system, respectively. Although the clinical features are distinct, they share a common pathogenesis. Both the disorders are not uncommon in children. Concurrent GBS and ADEM occurring simultaneously is a rare entity. We are reporting a case of a 5-year-old boy presenting with acute-onset ascending paralysis with irritability, hyperref...

Hypothesis and preliminary results on the role of MUC1 and MUC2 in relationship to autism etiology
Discussion: The results show an increase of MUC2, perhaps due to genetic origin. We hypnotize a probable over expression on highly hypoglycosylated MUC1. All this prevents a regular linkage of MUC2 to MUC1, so as to form many channels in mucosa. The free MUC2 relies on themselves and joins together with hydrogen bridge bonds, leaving the highly glycosylated end parts to become the starting point for abnormal growth of the bacteria, which in turn produce opioid such as peptides, that pass into the channels of the mucosa layer.

Long-term outcome in children with arterial ischemic stroke: A North Indian center-based study
Conclusion: Neurodevelopmental problems and epilepsy occur in a significant proportion of children with AIS in the long term. Good outcomes are predicted by the younger age of onset, subcortical infarcts, absence of seizures, and absence of recurrence of stroke. (Source: Journal of Pediatric Neurosciences)

False negativity in towel test for elbow flexion assessment in brachial plexus birth palsy. Can we attribute to handedness ?
Conclusion: Clinicians should know that false negativity may coexist while using the towel test and handedness could be a possibility in them. In such conditions, additional tests can be used to assess the ongoing motor recovery in brachial plexus birth palsy children between 6 and 9 months of age.
