    Transcranial magnetic stimulation and other evoked potentials in pediatric multiple sclerosis.

    In children, multiple sclerosis is rare and has some clinical and paraclinical differences compared with adults. The assessment of corticospinal motor tracts is expected to be relevant because of their frequent early involvement in this disease. Reported are the results of transcranial magnetic stimulation in two children who presented at 12 and 9 years of age with clinically probable and definite multiple sclerosis, respectively. In Patient 1 the excitatory cortical threshold for the upper limbs was abnormally raised. In Patient 2 the latency of the motor-evoked potentials was considerably increased for the right tibialis anterior muscle, with a slowing of the central conduction time. Although these abnormalities may be consistent with central conduction impairment, they may alternatively suggest early axonal damage because irreversible axonal lesions occurring at the onset of the disease have recently been reported. Testing of central motor tracts, in addition to visual, auditory, and somatosensory pathways, therefore appears appropriate in the multimodal assessment of pediatric patients with suspected multiple sclerosis.Case ReportsJournal ArticleSCOPUS: ar.jinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishe

    Hémicerebellite post-infectieuse.

    The clinical signs of cerebellitis are usually bilateral and symmetrical. We report the case of a 9-year-old girl who presented with acute hemiataxia and flaccid hemiparesis associated with a lesion in the ipsilateral cerebellar cortex two weeks after a viral upper respiratory tract infection. The clinical outcome was good without treatment. Imaging follow-up showed hemiatrophy of the cerebellar cortex.Case ReportsEnglish AbstractJournal Articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishe
