      • Clinical Findings of Sydenham Chorea in Pediatric Patients: A Single-Center Retrospective Study

        Hassan Mottaghi Mohaddam Shahri,Ehsan Hassan Nejad,Mehran Beiraghi Toosi,Abdolreza Malek,Asma Payandeh 대한소아신경학회 2023 대한소아신경학회지 Vol.31 No.3

        Purpose: Sydenham chorea is known for its rapid, irregular, and aimless involuntary movements and is considered a benign and self-limiting condition among the major manifestations of rheumatic fever. The current study reviewed the demographic, clinical, and paraclinical findings of pediatric patients with Sydenham chorea. Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted among 22 patients with Sydenham chorea who were admitted to the pediatric wards of Mashhad Imam Reza and Ghaem Hospitals between 2006 and 2016. Data from these patients’ medical records were extracted, organized using checklist forms, and analyzed. Results: Eight patients were male and 14 were female. The average age was 10.09±3.53 years. In 31.8% of patients, chorea was the only sign of rheumatic fever. Chorea was unilateral in 21.1% of patients. The most common clinical findings were, in descending order, jerky movements, facial grimacing, gait disorders, mental disorders, speech disorders, muscle weakness, and milkmaid’s grip. Cardiac auscultation was normal in 76.2% of patients, while a holosystolic murmur was heard in 23.8%. In laboratory exams, 50% of patients were erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR)-positive, 31.2% were C-reactive protein (CRP)-positive, and 53.3% were anti-streptolysin O (ASO)-positive. Echocardiography showed the prevalence of mitral regurgitation (63.6%), aortic regurgitation (45.5%), tricuspid regurgitation (22.7%), pulmonary regurgitation (4.5%), and pericardial effusion (4.5%). Conclusion: This study showed that Sydenham chorea can be the only sign of rheumatic fever. This disease typically occurs in children between the ages of 7 and 12. ESR, CRP, and ASO can be the most effective laboratory tests for diagnosis.

        Correlation between Diagnostic Magnetic Resonance Imaging Criteria and Cerebrospinal Fluid Pressure in Pediatric Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension

        Behnam Beizaei,Farrokh Seilanian Toosi,Yousef Shahmoradi,Javad Akhondian,Farah Ashrafzadeh,Mehran Beiraghi Toosi,Shima Imannezhad,Alireza Kooshki,Ehsan Hassan Nejad,Asma Payandeh,Nahid Tavakkolizadeh 대한소아신경학회 2024 대한소아신경학회지 Vol.32 No.1

        Ann Child Neurol 2024;32(1):1-7 Purpose: Idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH) is a clinical syndrome that mimics brain tumors with increased intracranial pressure. The present study is designed to investigate the diagnostic criteria of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and the severity of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) pressure to understand the relationship and frequency of these criteria with the level of CSF pressure. Methods: The present cross-sectional study was conducted on children diagnosed with IIH between the years 2011 and 2020, who were admitted to the pediatric neurology department of Ghaem Hospital, Mashhad, Iran. Clinical manifestations and imaging findings of the patients were recorded through a checklist. Results: Forty-nine patients were included in the study; 27 (55.1%) were male, and 22 (44.9%) were female. The average CSF pressure was 40.64±20.63 cmH2O. The mean diameter distension of the perioptic subarachnoid space was 6.02±1.21 mm. Six (10.8%) patients had unilateral transverse sinus stenosis with an average CSF pressure of 20.47±36.80 cmH2O and 11 (21.4%) patients had bilateral transverse sinus stenosis with an average pressure of 48.22±21.04 cmH2O. In 22 (44.89%) patients, flattening of the posterior globe with the CSF pressure of 48.80±17.94 cmH2O was reported. Twenty-four (49%) patients had optic nerve tortuosity, with an average CSF pressure of 46.52±20.33 cmH2O. Among the diagnostic criteria, the pressure had a significant relationship with the flattening of the posterior globe (P<0.022). Conclusion: Since MRI is a non-invasive method for examining IIH, the findings of this study may aid in diagnosing and monitoring these patients.
