Resumen: Antecedentes: El diagnóstico de la neurofibromatosis tipo 1 (NF1) habitualmente se demora en niños sin antecedentes familiares. Nuestro objetivo fue definir la prevalencia y características de las manifestaciones cutáneas prevalentes en la NF1, en comparación con la población general, que siguen siendo excluidas de los criterios diagnósticos para NF1. Pacientes y métodos: Estudio de casos y controles, pareado por grupos de edad, en el que se incluyó a 108 pacientes diagnosticados de NF1 y 137 controles sanos. Resultados: La prevalencia de nevus anemicus (NA) (p < 0,001) y xantogranuloma juvenil (XJ) (p < 0,001) fue significativamente superior en la población afectada de NF1, en comparación con el grupo control. Se estimaron una especificidad del 99,27% (intervalo de confianza: 95,4-99,96%) y un valor predictivo positivo (VPP) del 98,80% (92,54-99,94%) para NA, y una especificidad del 99,27% (95,4-99,96%) y VPP del 92,86% (64,17-99,63%) para XJ en el diagnóstico de NF1 en niños que presentan 6 o más manchas café con leche. También se evidenciaron diferencias estadísticamente significativas en la distribución por fototipos (p = 0,025) y con el generalizado sin otra causa conocida (p

Our clinical series comprises 124 patients with movement disorders (MDs) and/or ataxia with cerebellar atrophy (CA), many of them showing signs of neurodegeneration with brain iron accumulation (NBIA). Ten NBIA genes are accepted, although isolated cases compatible with abnormal brain iron deposits are known. The patients were evaluated using standardised clinical assessments of ataxia and MDs. First, NBIA genes were analysed by Sanger sequencing and 59 patients achieved a diagnosis, including the detection of the founder mutation PANK2 p.T528M in Romani people. Then, we used a custom panel MovDisord and/or exome sequencing; 29 cases were solved with a great genetic heterogeneity (34 different mutations in 23 genes). Three patients presented brain iron deposits with Fe-sensitive MRI sequences and mutations in FBXO7, GLB1, and KIF1A, suggesting an NBIA-like phenotype. Eleven patients showed very early-onset ataxia and CA with cortical hyperintensities caused by mutations in ITPR1, KIF1A, SPTBN2, PLA2G6, PMPCA, and PRDX3. The novel variants were investigated by structural modelling, luciferase analysis, transcript/minigenes studies, or immunofluorescence assays. Our findings expand the phenotypes and the genetics of MDs and ataxias with early-onset CA and cortical hyperintensities and highlight that the abnormal brain iron accumulation or early cerebellar gliosis may resembling an NBIA phenotype.

We conducted an observational study from January 2016 through January 2017 of patients admitted to a reference pediatric hospital in Madrid, Spain, for neurologic symptoms and enterovirus infection. Among the 30 patients, the most common signs and symptoms were fever, lethargy, myoclonic jerks, and ataxia. Real-time PCR detected enterovirus in the cerebrospinal fluid of 8 patients, nasopharyngeal aspirate in 17, and anal swab samples of 5. The enterovirus was genotyped for 25 of 30 patients; enterovirus A71 was the most common serotype (21/25) and the only serotype detected in patients with brainstem encephalitis or encephalomyelitis. Treatment was intravenous immunoglobulins for 21 patients and corticosteroids for 17. Admission to the pediatric intensive care unit was required for 14 patients. All patients survived. At admission, among patients with the most severe disease, leukocytes were elevated. For children with brainstem encephalitis or encephalomyelitis, clinicians should look for enterovirus and not limit testing to cerebrospinal fluid.

Introduction: Sturge–Weber syndrome is a congenital vascular disorder characterised by facial capillary malformation (port-wine stain) associated with venous and capillary malformations in the brain and eye. Neurological symptoms and alterations in other locations may also be observed. Objectives: This study describes the clinical and epidemiological characteristics and different treatments in a cohort of patients diagnosed with Sturge–Weber syndrome in a tertiary hospital. Material and methods: This comparative, retrospective and cross-sectional study was conducted by reviewing the medical records of patients diagnosed with Sturge–Weber syndrome between 1998 and 2013. Results: The study included 13 patients (54% male, 46% female) diagnosed with Sturge–Weber syndrome. The mean age at diagnosis was 15 months. Leptomeningeal angiomatosis was present in 100% of cases: right hemisphere (46%), left hemisphere (38%), and bilateral (15%). Facial angioma was present in 61% of the cases: right (23%), left (38%) and bilateral (7%). Other skin disorders were found in 23% of the cases, including 2 with hemilateral involvement on the side where facial and leptomeningeal angiomatosis was present and one case of generalised cutis marmorata. Ocular disease was found in 77% of patients; the most common conditions were glaucoma (46%), strabismus (23%) and choroidal angioma (23%). Epilepsy was present in 100% of the cases, with partial seizures (simple or complex) being the most frequent (62%). Seizure control was highly variable; 31% of the patients had needed to try more than 3 drugs, 15% 3 drugs, and 31% 2 drugs, while 23% experienced good seizure control with monotherapy. One patient required surgery for epilepsy (left hemispherectomy) and has been seizure-free since then. The most frequent observations in electroencephalograms were spikes, polyspikes, and wave spikes in the lobes affected by leptomeningeal angiomatosis (46%). Other neurological symptoms were hemiparesis (39%), recurrent headaches (39%), stroke-like episodes (23%), psychomotor retardation (46%), and mental retardation (46%). Leptomeningeal calcifications could be seen in 85% of patient MRIs, as well as increased calcification in 70%; 54% of the patients had been treated with aspirin. Conclusions: There are multiple clinical manifestations of Sturge–Weber syndrome. Being familiar with all of them is vitally important for diagnosing and for monitoring and treating the condition correctly, which will improve the quality of life of these patients. Resumen: Introducción: El síndrome de Sturge-Weber es un trastorno vascular congénito caracterizado por una malformación facial capilar (mancha en vino de Oporto) asociada a malformaciones venosas y capilares en el cerebro y en el ojo. También pueden observarse alteraciones en otras localizaciones y síntomas neurológicos. Objetivos: Describir las características clínicas y epidemiológicas, así como los diferentes tratamientos realizados en una cohorte de pacientes diagnosticados de síndrome de Sturge-Weber en un hospital terciario. Material y métodos: Estudio comparativo, retrospectivo y transversal, mediante la revisión de historias clínicas de pacientes diagnosticados de síndrome de Sturge-Weber entre los años 1998 y 2013. Resultados: Se incluyeron 13 pacientes (54% varones, 46% mujeres) diagnosticados de síndrome de Sturge-Weber. La edad media al diagnóstico fue de 15 meses. Presencia de angiomatosis leptomeníngea en el 100% de los casos: hemisferio derecho (46%), hemisferio izquierdo (38%), afectación bilateral (15%). Presencia de angioma facial (61%): derecho (23%), izquierdo (38%) y bilateral (7%). Otras alteraciones cutáneas: 23% de los casos (2 de ellos la afectación en el hemicuerpo del lado en el que se encontraba también la angiomatosis facial y leptomeníngea y en el otro caso la afectación cutánea fue en forma de cutis marmorata generalizada). Encontramos afectación ocular en el 77% de los pacientes, siendo las más frecuentes: glaucoma (46%), estrabismo (23%) y angiomatosis coroidea (23%). Presencia de epilepsia 100% de los casos, siendo las crisis parciales (simples o complejas) las más frecuentes (62%). El control de las crisis epilépticas fue muy variable, ya que el 31% han necesitado probar más de 3 fármacos, 15% 3 fármacos, 31% 2 fármacos y 23% tuvieron buen control con monoterapia. Uno de los pacientes requirió cirugía de la epilepsia (hemisferectomía izquierda), quedando libre de crisis hasta la fecha. En electroencefalogramas lo más frecuente fue: puntas, puntas ondas o polipuntas-ondas en los lóbulos afectados por angiomatosis leptomeníngea (46%). Otros síntomas neurológicos: hemiparesia (39%), cefaleas recurrentes (39%), episodios stroke-like (23%), retraso psicomotor (46%), retraso mental (46%). Presencia calcificaciones leptomeníngeas en la resonancia magnética (85%). Aumento de las calcificaciones en el 70%. Pacientes tratados con ácido acetilsalicílico: 54%. Conclusiones: Son múltiples las manifestaciones clínicas del síndrome de Sturge-Weber, siendo de vital importancia conocerlas todas para poder realizar un correcto diagnóstico, seguimiento y tratamiento de las mismas, mejorando así la calidad de vida de estos pacientes.

Introduction: Neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) is frequently associated with neurological disorders unrelated to neurofibromas, including sleep disorders. Objectives: This article reviews the prevalence of sleep disorders in patients with NF1, compares rates to data reported in the literature, and analyses the relationship between cognitive disorder and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in these patients. Material and methods: Comparative retrospective study reviewing data collected between January 2010 and January 2012 from patients diagnosed with NF1 in a tertiary hospital. Results: We included 95 paediatric patients with NF1 who completed the Bruni Sleep Disturbance Scale in Children (SDSC). The overall prevalence of sleep disorders was 6.3%, which was lower than in the general paediatric population. Patients with NF1 and ADHD had a higher prevalence of sleep onset and maintenance disorders (18% vs 6.3%), sleep-wake transition disorders (12.5% vs 6.3%), and daytime sleepiness (12.5% vs 7.9%); differences were not statistically significant. A statistically significant difference was found in the subdomain of nocturnal hyperhidrosis (21.9% vs 6.3%, P

- Abstract
Epilepsy with eyelid myoclonia (EEM) is a rare epileptic syndrome classified within the Genetic Generalized Epilepsies of childhood. It is characterized by a high drug resistance, and little is known about prognostic factors and neurodevelopmental comorbidities. The aim of this study was to describe the clinical features, cognitive profile, and prognostic factors in a series of children with EEM. This is a retrospective observational study of patients diagnosed with EEM from 2012 to 2022 in a tertiary pediatric hospital. Seventeen patients were analyzed (mean age at symptom onset 5.8 years). Neuropsychiatric comorbidities were present in 76.4% (attention deficit hyperactivity disorder 58.8%, behavioral disorder 11.8%, autism spectrum disorder 11.8%, and psychotic outbreaks 11.8%). Neurocognitive assessment was performed in 75%, revealing cognitive impairment in 66.6% (62.5% with borderline intellectual function and 37.5% with ‐IQ <70‐), with predominant difficulties in executive functions, comprehensive language, and motor skills. Cognitive deterioration was observed in one patient in parallel onset with psychotic symptoms. High refractoriness to antiseizure medication (ASM) was observed, with only 23.5% of the patients being seizure‐free after a mean follow‐up of 7 years. The most effective ASM was valproic acid, and two of them received ketogenic diet with good response. Regarding prognostic factors, psychotic symptoms were associated with a greater number of antiseizure medication (p < .05) implying a more drug‐resistant epilepsy. In our study, we found a high rate of cognitive and psychiatric comorbidities and high refractoriness. These data support the concept of EEM as an intermediate entity between idiopathic generalized epilepsy and epileptic and/or neurodevelopmental encephalopathy. Making a proper diagnosis and management of these comorbidities is necessary to improve prognosis and quality of life in EEM.

A variety of symptoms affecting the nervous system and/or skeletal muscle have been described during the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) pandemic. Though largely unexplored in children, intensive care unit-acquired weakness (ICU-AW) is associated with significant comorbidities. No previous pediatric cases of ICU-AW associated with coronavirus disease 2019 have been reported. A 12-year-old boy with SARS-CoV-2 infection developed systemic inflammatory response syndrome. Seven days later, he developed severe muscle weakness, with a creatine kinase level of 402 U/L. Nerve conduction studies and electromyography revealed a myopathic pattern. Severe pediatric cases of SARS-CoV-2 infection may develop ICU-AW. Early diagnosis and rehabilitation may decrease comorbidity and improve quality of life.

Hintergrund und zielsetzung Klinisch-pathologische Merkmale angeborener kutaner Neurofibrome, die sich bei Patienten mit Neurofibromatose Typ 1 (NF1) als grose, unregelmasig geformte „Cafe-au-lait“-Flecken (CALM) prasentieren, sind noch nicht gut charakterisiert. Unser Ziel war, grose „atypische“ CALM bei Kindern mit NF1 histopathologisch zu analysieren. Patienten und methoden In dieser retrospektiven Beobachtungsstudie haben wir histopathologische und immunhistochemische Merkmale von 21 Biopsaten untersucht, die innerhalb der ersten Lebensmonate aus 18 grosen hyperpigmentierten Flecken (mit oder ohne Hypertrichose) bei Kindern mit NF1 entnommen wurden. Ergebnisse Von den 21 Biopsaten zeigten zehn ein diffuses Neurofibrom, vier weitere hatten Charakteristika eines plexiformen Neurofibroms (PNF). Bei zwolf Proben fanden sich spindelformige, linear angeordnete Zellen wie bei einem dunnen Nervenstrang mit abnormer Morphologie. Zwei dieser Lasionen wurden mit zunehmendem Alter erneut biopsiert und zeigten eine Transformation hin zu einem plexiformen Muster. In 17 Proben wurden vermehrt Zellen im interstitiellen Raum festgestellt, bei 16 waren die Zellen um ekkrine Drusen konzentriert sowie bei zwolf Proben um Haarfollikel und Gefasstrukturen. Alle diese Zellen exprimierten S100-Protein und CD68, 15 Proben auch Melan-A. Schlussfolgerung Die klinisch-pathologischen Merkmale angeborener kutaner Neurofibrome liefern schon fruh diagnostische Hinweise auf NF1 und sind hoch relevant fur die Nachverfolgung der Patienten.

Background and objective Clinicopathological features of cutaneous neurofibromas presenting as large irregularly shaped congenital cafe-au-lait macules (CALM) in Neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) patients have not been well characterized. We aimed to analyze the histopathological findings of large "atypical" CALM in children with NF1. Patients and methods In this retrospective observational study we analyzed histopathological and immunostaining features of 21 biopsy specimens from 18 large hyperpigmented macules with irregular borders with or without hypertrichosis present during the first months of life in NF1 diagnosed children. Results Of the 21 biopsies, ten showed a diffuse neurofibroma pattern and four exhibited characteristics of plexiform neurofibroma (PNF). In twelve specimens we observed groups of fusiform cells arranged linearly mimicking a small caliber nerve trunk with abnormal morphology. Repeated biopsies from two of these lesions performed at different ages showed transformation to a plexiform pattern. An increased interstitial cellularity was observed in 17 samples that was more evident around eccrine glands in 16 or accompanying hair follicles and vascular structures in twelve samples. All these cells had immunoreactivity for S100-protein, CD68 and were Melan-A positive in 15 samples. Conclusion Clinicopathological findings of congenital cutaneous neurofibromas provide early diagnostic clues of NF1 with high relevance for monitoring of these patients.

Epileptic encephalopathy related to CACNA1E has been described as a severe neurodevelopmental disorder presenting with early-onset refractory seizures, hypotonia, macrocephaly, hyperkinetic movements, and contractures and is associated with an autosomal dominant inheritance pattern. Most pathogenic variants described to date are missense variants with a gain of function effect, and the role of haploinsufficiency has yet to be clarified. We describe 2 cases of CACNA1E encephalopathy. Notable findings include congenital contractures and movement disorders predating onset of epilepsy, particularly dystonia. We further compared the key phenotypic features depending on variant location. In conclusion, the appearance of congenital contractures, areflexia, and movement disorders before the onset of epilepsy may provide key guidance in the diagnosis of epileptic CACNA1E encephalopathy. A genotype-phenotype correlation was found between the presence of movement disorders and severe intellectual disability and the location of the variant in the CACNA1E gene.

- Abstract
Our clinical series comprises 124 patients with movement disorders (MDs) and/or ataxia with cerebellar atrophy (CA), many of them showing signs of neurodegeneration with brain iron accumulation (NBIA). Ten NBIA genes are accepted, although isolated cases compatible with abnormal brain iron deposits are known. The patients were evaluated using standardised clinical assessments of ataxia and MDs. First, NBIA genes were analysed by Sanger sequencing and 59 patients achieved a diagnosis, including the detection of the founder mutation PANK2 p.T528M in Romani people. Then, we used a custom panel MovDisord and/or exome sequencing; 29 cases were solved with a great genetic heterogeneity (34 different mutations in 23 genes). Three patients presented brain iron deposits with Fe-sensitive MRI sequences and mutations in FBXO7, GLB1, and KIF1A, suggesting an NBIA-like phenotype. Eleven patients showed very early-onset ataxia and CA with cortical hyperintensities caused by mutations in ITPR1, KIF1A, SPTBN2, PLA2G6, PMPCA, and PRDX3. The novel variants were investigated by structural modelling, luciferase analysis, transcript/minigenes studies, or immunofluorescence assays. Our findings expand the phenotypes and the genetics of MDs and ataxias with early-onset CA and cortical hyperintensities and highlight that the abnormal brain iron accumulation or early cerebellar gliosis may resembling an NBIA phenotype.

Introduction Sturge-Weber syndrome (SWS) is a neurocutaneous syndrome with typical clinical features including seizures, chronic hemiplegia, hemianopsia and intellectual impairment. Progressive clinical decline may be attributable, at least in part, to progressive venous ischemia. Transcranial Doppler (TCD) ultrasonography could be useful to monitor the degree of hemodynamic involvement and its progression. Purpose To determine whether there is an association between the degree of asymmetry in TCD and intensity of clinical and radiological involvement and whether there is a correlation between clinical changes and changes in serial TCD. Methods In fourteen SWS pediatric patients and two “possible cases” (infants younger than two years old without previously known brain involvement, but with other typical signs of SWS) mean flow velocity in the middle cerebral arteries (MCA) was measured by TCD in both hemispheres. The percent difference between hemispheres (asymmetry) was calculated. Clinical and radiological severity was scored using scales. The correlation between TCD asymmetry and SWS clinical and radiological scores was analyzed at baseline, as well as the correlation between the changes in the different variables (TCD asymmetry, clinical and radiological cores) during evolution and in relation to the changes due to therapy. Results The percentage of MCA velocity asymmetry was positively correlated with the clinical severity score (p = 0.04), and with seizure frequency (p = 0.014). Throughout evolution, therapeutic and clinical changes were associated with noticeable changes in transcranial doppler asymmetry in some cases. Conclusions TCD may provide a noninvasive method to assess the severity of blood flow abnormalities at baseline and a method to monitor children for progressive changes over time.

Resumen: Introducción: Las mucopolisacaridosis (MPS) son un grupo de enfermedades hereditarias de depósito lisosomal. El objetivo de esta revisión es describir las alteraciones neurorradiológicas en los niños evaluados en nuestro hospital con este diagnóstico, buscar la posible correlación de estas alteraciones con el tipo de MPS y con la gravedad clínica, y comparar nuestros hallazgos con lo descrito en la literatura. Material y métodos: Revisamos retrospectivamente las historias clínicas de 19 pacientes diagnosticados de MPS en el periodo 1992-2010: 7 tipo I (5 con síndrome de Hurler y 2 con Hurler-Scheie), 10 tipo II o síndrome de Hunter (4 con la forma grave y 6 con la moderada), 1 tipo III o síndrome de Sanfilippo y 1 tipo VI o síndrome de Maroteaux-Lamy. Se analizaron las pruebas de neuroimagen: tomografía computarizada (TC) en 5 pacientes y resonancia magnética craneal (RMC) en 15. Resultados: Encontramos un amplio espectro de alteraciones radiológicas. En la TC destaca la megacisterna magna (3/5, 60%); en la RMC el aumento de los espacios perivasculares (11/15, 73%), la alteración parcheada de la sustancia blanca (SB) (11/15, 73%) y la ventriculomegalia (5/15, 33%). Conclusiones: Algunas anomalías neurorradiológicas son frecuentes en las MPS (aumento de los espacios perivasculares, alteraciones de la SB, ventriculomegalia), por lo que ante estos hallazgos debemos investigar esta posibilidad diagnóstica, especialmente en pacientes con clínica compatible. No hemos hallado datos específicos de cada tipo de MPS, ni relación de estas alteraciones radiológicas con la gravedad de la forma clínica. Abstract: Introduction: Mucopolysaccharidoses (MPS) are a group of inherited disorders due to lysosomal enzyme deficiencies. The aims of this study are to describe the neuroimaging findings in children evaluated in our hospital with this diagnosis, looking for a possible correlation of these alterations with the type of MPS and clinical severity, and finally to compare these findings with those previously reported. Material and methods: We retrospectively analysed the medical records of 19 patients who had been diagnosed with MPS between 1992 and 2010: 7 had type I (5 with Hurler syndrome and 2 with Hurler-Scheie syndrome), 10 had type II or Hunter syndrome (4 with the severe form and 6 with the mild form), 1 had type III or Sanfilippo syndrome and 1 had type VI or Maroteaux-Lamy syndrome. We assessed the brain neuroimaging studies: computed axial tomography (CAT) in 5 patients, and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in 15. Results: We observed a broad spectrum of neuroimaging anomalies. In CAT: mega cisterna magna (3/5, 60%). In brain MRI: dilated Virchow-Robin perivascular spaces (11/15, 73%), white matter abnormalities (11/15, 73%), and ventriculomegaly (5/15, 33%). Conclusions: Abnormal findings in neuroimaging studies are frequent in MPS (dilated Virchow-Robin perivascular spaces, white matter abnormalities and ventriculomegaly). Thus, given these abnormalities we should be aware of this possible diagnosis, particularly when typical signs and symptoms are present. However, we did not find a correlation between these findings and either any specific type of MPS or clinical severity.

Primary trochlear headache is a little-known cause of periorbital headache described in adults. It can involve very disabling pain. In addition, it can be associated with other types of headaches, making them even more difficult to identify. To diagnose this pathology, it is necessary that the examination of the trochlea be incorporated into the usual clinical practice of the patient with headache, which will allow the establishment of an adequate treatment. The case is presented of an adolescent patient with a diagnosis of migraine, who was admitted with a disabling headache secondary to a primary trochlear headache.

Background and objectives To determine the efficacy, tolerance, and safety of BRV in children with epilepsy. Methods A retrospective study of patients with epilepsy who received treatment with BRV before age 16 years and underwent a minimum follow-up of 3 months. Method and results Sixty-six patients were included in the study. Patients received BRV at a mean age of 8.8 years (range 1−16 years). The majority (93.4 %) had refractory epilepsy, 27 with epileptic encephalopathy. The median maximum dose used was 4.3 mg/kg/day. In 30.3 % of the cases, seizure frequency was reduced by over 50 %, and 9 % remained seizure-free. Greater efficacy was observed in those patients who received higher doses and when a direct switch from levetiracetam (LEV) to BRV was performed. The ineffectiveness of LEV was not related to a failure to respond to BRV treatment. Side effects were identified in 24.2 % of the cases, the most frequent being irritability and drowsiness. Conclusions BRV appears to be an effective, safe, and well-tolerated AED in children with refractory epilepsy.

Novel Insights from Clinical Practice - Abstract
Epileptic encephalopathy related to CACNA1E has been described as a severe neurodevelopmental disorder presenting with early-onset refractory seizures, hypotonia, macrocephaly, hyperkinetic movements, and contractures and is associated with an autosomal dominant inheritance pattern. Most pathogenic variants described to date are missense variants with a gain of function effect, and the role of haploinsufficiency has yet to be clarified. We describe 2 cases of CACNA1E encephalopathy. Notable findings include congenital contractures and movement disorders predating onset of epilepsy, particularly dystonia. We further compared the key phenotypic features depending on variant location. In conclusion, the appearance of congenital contractures, areflexia, and movement disorders before the onset of epilepsy may provide key guidance in the diagnosis of epileptic CACNA1E encephalopathy. A genotype-phenotype correlation was found between the presence of movement disorders and severe intellectual disability and the location of the variant in the CACNA1E gene.

Alternating Hemiplegia of Childhood (AHC), Rapid-onset Dystonia-Parkinsonism (RDP), and CAPOS syndrome (Cerebellar ataxia, Areflexia, Pes cavus, Optic atrophy, and Sensorineural hearing loss) are all caused by mutations in the same gene: ATP1A3. Although initially they were considered separate disorders, recent evidence suggests a continuous clinical spectrum of ATP1A3-related disorders. At onset all these disorders can present with acute brainstem dysfunction triggered by a febrile illness. An infectious or autoimmune disorder is usually suspected. A genetic disorder is rarely considered in the first acute episode. We present three patients with ATP1A3 mutations: one patient with AHC, one patient with RDP, and one patient with CAPOS syndrome. We describe the acute onset and overlapping clinical features of these three patients with classical phenotypes. These cases highlight ATP1A3-related disorders as a possible cause of acute brainstem dysfunction with normal ancillary testing.

CAPOS syndrome (cerebellar ataxia, areflexia, pes cavus, optic atrophy, and sensorineural hearing loss) is a rare neurological disease, associated with the c.2452G>A mutation in the ATP1A3 gene. We herein report on the phenotypic and genotypic findings of 3 members of an affected Spanish family and the experience of cochlear implant treatment in the youngest of them, a boy who had experienced sensorineural hearing loss with a pattern of auditory neuropathy for 5 years following an initial encephalitic episode when aged 3 years old with very poor outcome using hearing aids. A cochlear implant trial was performed at age 8 years in order to ameliorate his progressive deterioration in audioverbal skills with very poor discrimination.
