Neuropsychological and phonological evaluation in the Apert's syndrome: study of two cases.

This study evaluated two cases of Apert's syndrome, through phonological, cognitive, and neuropsychological instruments and correlated the results to complementary exams. In short, this study reveals the necessity of application of neuropsychological, cognitive and phonological evaluation and correlation of the results with complementary testings because significant differences can be present in the Apert's syndrome.

[Moebius syndrome: case report].

In the last few years we have been able to diagnose a larger number of cases of Moebius syndrome, perhaps due to its increased incidence--since a number of environmental factors have been related to the genesis of the syndrome. Out of the cases evaluated in two specialized ambulatory, it is worthwhile to mention one of them due to an uncommon association with cortical heterotopy, among others malformations.

Progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy in a child with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS).

Progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy is a rare viral-induced demyelinating disease associated to immunodeficiency. A 10-year-old boy with AIDS is reported, who developed subacute cerebellar signs and symptoms with multiple cranial nerve involvement and dementia. A computed tomography scan revealed a focal nonenhancing area of low attenuation in the cerebellum. On magnetic resonance imaging high signal lesions in T2 weighted sequences were shown. The biopsy of one of those lesions showed the typical histological findings of progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy. It seems important to consider this diagnosis in children with AIDS who present with progressive neurological features.

[Guillain-Barré-Strohl syndrome: prognostic factors].

The authors analysed retrospectively 29 in-patients with Guillain-Barré-Strohl syndrome intending to recognize severity indexes as far as the development of complications and death are concerned. Sensory signs, autonomic dysfunction, respiratory insufficiency, sphincteric disturbances and a longer time in hospital turned out to be severity indexes, when present in these patients.
