Linear cutaneous lesions and neurological deficit. A case report.

A patient with subdural hygroma in the perinatal period developed into a right hand sided spastic hemiplegia with epileptic seizures and intellectual deficit. On the age of 17 years a linear dermatosis that proved to be a naevus unislateris was remarked. The combination of linear nevi and neurological deficit is known as the epidermal nevus syndrome.

[The EEG in hypercalcemia].

When a patient with hypercalcemia presents symptoms of encephalopathy, then also the EEG shows some abnormal characteristics; triphasic waves are mentioned. Both the clinical and electroencephalographical disturbances are grave, nevertheless they are specific. As well the clinical as the electroencephalographic symptoms have a tendency to disappear when the calcemia bends to normal values; there exists a certain latency. The reason for hypercalcemia usually cannot be properly cured, so an encephalopathy due to hypercalcemia mostly includes bad prognosis.

Intracranial fibromuscular dysplasia and stroke in children.

Fibromuscular dysplasia (FMD) is an arterial lesion of unknown origin which may sometimes affect intracranial arteries. In recent years a few rare cases, mostly involving younger people, have been described. The present case concerns a child of 8 years in whom the finding of hemiplegia led to a diagnosis of intracranial fibrodysplasia which was proven by arteriography and biopsy. This arterial lesion is described within the context of stroke in children.
