PEDIATRIC ANTI-NMDA RECEPTOR ENCEPHALITIS: A CASE REPORT

Anti-N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor encephalitis is an autoimmune inflammation of the brain parenchyma mediated with autoantibodies against the NMDA receptors in the neuronal cells. It is the most common form of autoimmune encephalitides in pediatric patients. In this case report, we present the case of a child with anti-NMDAR encephalitis, refractory to the first-line therapy

Tuberous sclerosis complex type 2 in a subgroup of 7 pediatric patients

Tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC) is a multisystemic genetic disorder with autosomal dominant inheritance, characterized by hamartomas that affect multiple organs, including the central nervous system, skin, heart, kidneys, and lungs. It occurs due to variants in the tumor suppressor genes TSC1 or TSC2. In this case series, we present a subgroup of 7 pediatric patients with variants in the TSC2 gene and discuss their genotypes, phenotypes as well as genotype-phenotype correlation
