    Abstract Headache and Neurologic Deficits with cerebrospinal fluid Lymphocytosis (HaNDL) syndrome is a rare stroke mimicker characterized by moderate to severe headache temporally associated with transient neurologic deficits, typically hemiparesis, hemisensory disturbance, and/or aphasia. Cerebrospinal fluid studies reveal a lymphocytosis and elevated protein. Episodes recur over a period no longer than 3 months. Here we describe the case of a 16-year-old boy who presented with 3 episodes of self-resolving neurologic deficits, papilledema on fundoscopic examination, and leptomeningeal enhancement on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). We additionally review the 30 previously reported pediatric cases of HaNDL syndrome, with a focus on possible etiologic and pathophysiologic mechanisms of disease. The reported case and literature review highlight the benign episodic nature of this likely underrecognized syndrome as well as the higher than expected frequency of abnormal neuroimaging findings.

    Abstract Two children are presented who have a distinct syndrome of multiple buccolingual frenula, a stiff and short fifth finger with small nails, a hypothalamic hamartoma, mild to moderate neurological impairment, and mild endocrinological symptoms. No variant assessed to be pathogenic or likely pathogenic was detected in the GLI3 gene in either child. This syndrome appears to be distinct from the inherited Pallister-Hall syndrome associated with GLI3 variants, which is characterized by hypothalamic hamartoma, mesoaxial polydactyly, and other anomalies. In the individuals described here, manifestations outside of the central nervous system were milder and the mesoaxial polydactyly, which is common in individuals with Pallister-Hall syndrome, was absent. Instead, these children had multiple buccolingual frenula together with the unusual appearance of the fifth digit. It remains unclear whether these two individuals represent a separate nosologic entity or if they represent a milder manifestation of one of the more severe syndromes associated with a hypothalamic hamartoma.

    Abstract Background: Neonatal seizures are common, but the impact of neonatal seizures on long-term neurologic outcome remains unclear. We addressed this question by analyzing data from an early-phase controlled trial of bumetanide to treat neonatal seizures.
    Methods: Neonatal seizure burden was calculated from continuous video-EEG data. Neurologic outcome was determined by standardized developmental tests and post-neonatal seizure recurrence.
    Results: Of 111 enrolled neonates, 43 were randomized to treatment or control groups. There were no differences in neurologic outcome between treatment and control groups. A subgroup analysis was performed for 84 neonates with acute perinatal brain injury (57 HIE, 18 stroke, 9 ICH), most of whom (70%) had neonatal seizures. There was a significant negative correlation between seizure burden and developmental scores (p<0.01). Associations between seizure burden and developmental scores were stronger in HIE and stroke groups compared with ICH (p<0.05).
    Conclusion: Bumetanide showed no long-term beneficial or adverse effects, as expected based on treatment duration versus duration of neonatal seizures. For neonates with perinatal brain injury, higher neonatal seizure burden correlated significantly with worse developmental outcome, particularly for ischemic versus hemorrhagic brain injury. These data highlight the need for further investigation of the long-term effects of both neonatal seizure severity and etiology.

    Abstract A healthy 17-year-old boy with a high-functioning pervasive developmental disorder presented to the emergency department after having a 4-minute episode of seizure-like activity in the setting of presumed viral gastroenteritis. Within an hour of emergency department arrival, he developed a forehead-sparing facial droop, right-sided ptosis, and expressive aphasia, prompting stroke team assessment and urgent neuroimaging. Laboratory results later revealed a serum sodium of 119 mmol/L. Neurologic deficits self-resolved, and a full physical examination revealed diffuse abdominal tenderness in the lower abdomen with rebound tenderness in the right-lower quadrant. The patient was admitted to the PICU for electrolyte management and monitoring. A computed tomography (CT) scan of the abdomen obtained the following morning revealed the patient's final diagnosis.

    Abstract Objective: In the absence of controlled trials, treatment of neonatal seizures has changed minimally despite poor drug efficacy. We tested bumetanide added to phenobarbital to treat neonatal seizures in the first trial to include a standard-therapy control group.
    Methods: A randomized, double-blind, dose-escalation design was employed. Neonates with postmenstrual age 33 to 44 weeks at risk of or with seizures were eligible. Subjects with electroencephalography (EEG)-confirmed seizures after ≥20 and <40mg/kg phenobarbital were randomized to receive additional phenobarbital with either placebo (control) or 0.1, 0.2, or 0.3mg/kg bumetanide (treatment). Continuous EEG monitoring data from ≥2 hours before to ≥48 hours after study drug administration (SDA) were analyzed for seizures.
    Results: Subjects were randomized to treatment (n = 27) and control (n = 16) groups. Pharmacokinetics were highly variable among subjects and altered by hypothermia. The only statistically significant adverse event was diuresis in treated subjects (48% vs 13%, p = 0.02). One treated (4%) and 3 control subjects died (19%, p = 0.14). Among survivors, 2 of 26 treated subjects (8%) and 0 of 13 control subjects had hearing impairment, as did 1 nonrandomized subject. Total seizure burden varied widely, with much higher seizure burden in treatment versus control groups (median = 3.1 vs 1.2 min/h, p = 0.006). There was significantly greater reduction in seizure burden 0 to 4 hours and 2 to 4 hours post-SDA (both p < 0.01) compared with 2-hour baseline in treatment versus control groups with adjustment for seizure burden.
    Interpretation: Although definitive proof of efficacy awaits an appropriately powered phase 3 trial, this randomized, controlled, multicenter trial demonstrated an additional reduction in seizure burden attributable to bumetanide over phenobarbital without increased serious adverse effects. Future trials of bumetanide and other drugs should include a control group and balance seizure severity. ANN NEUROL 2021;89:327-340.

    Abstract Children may frequently present with recurrent spells, which are often thought to be seizures. However, there are several benign non-epileptic conditions that mimic seizures. A group of 8 children is described who were diagnosed with otitis media and presented with recurrent, stereotypic spells suggestive of seizures. A paroxysmal phenomenon, in association with otitis media, resembling seizures, has not been previously described. These paroxysmal phenomena resembling seizures may be related to acute otitis media and should be included in the differential diagnosis of paroxysmal non-epileptic events in infants and young children.

    Abstract Objective: We evaluated the impact of monitoring indication, early electroencephalography (EEG), and clinical features on seizure risk in all neonates undergoing continuous EEG (cEEG) monitoring following a standardized monitoring protocol.
    Methods: All cEEGs from unique neonates 34-48 weeks postmenstrual age monitored from 1/2011-10/2017 (n = 291) were included. We evaluated the impact of cEEG monitoring indication (acute neonatal encephalopathy [ANE], suspicious clinical events [SCEs], or other high-risk conditions [OHRs]), age, medication status, and early EEG abnormalities (including the presence of epileptiform discharges and abnormal background continuity, amplitude, asymmetry, asynchrony, excessive sharp transients, and burst suppression) on time to first seizure and overall seizure risk using Kaplan-Meier survival curves and multivariable Cox proportional hazards models.
    Results: Seizures occurred in 28% of high-risk neonates. Discontinuation of monitoring after 24 hours of seizure-freedom would have missed 8.5% of neonates with seizures. Overall seizure risk was lower in neonates monitored for ANE compared to OHR (P = .004) and trended lower compared to SCE (P = .097). The time course of seizure presentation varied by group, where the probability of future seizure was less than 1% after 17 hours of seizure-free monitoring in the SCE group, but required 42 hours in the OHR group, and 73 hours in the ANE group. The presence of early epileptiform discharges increased seizure risk in each group (ANE: adjusted hazard ratio [aHR] 4.32, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.23-15.13, P = .022; SCE: aHR 10.95, 95% CI 4.77-25.14, P < 1e-07; OHR: aHR 56.90, 95% CI 10.32-313.72, P < 1e-05).
    Significance: Neonates who undergo cEEG are at high risk for seizures, and risk varies by monitoring indication and early EEG findings. Seizures are captured in nearly all neonates undergoing monitoring for SCE within 24 hours of cEEG monitoring. Neonates monitored for OHR and ANE can present with delayed seizures and require longer durations of monitoring. Early epileptiform discharges are the best early EEG feature to predict seizure risk.

    Abstract Chronic aspiration poses a major health risk to the pediatric population. We describe four cases in which work up for chronic aspiration with a brain MRI revealed a Chiari I malformation, a poorly described etiology of pediatric aspiration. All patients had at least one non-specific neurologic symptom but had swallow studies more characteristic of an anatomic than a neurologic etiology. Patients were referred to neurosurgery and underwent posterior fossa decompression with symptom improvement. A high index of suspicion for Chiari malformation should be maintained when the standard work up for aspiration is non-diagnostic, particularly when non-specific neurologic symptoms are present.

    Abstract There are few data on magnetic resonance imaging findings in newborns for whom there is a concern for cerebral sinovenous thrombosis. The study objective was to document findings on magnetic resonance imaging or magnetic resonance venography in cases of suspected neonatal sinovenous thrombosis. A retrospective search of the institutional database was performed to find neonates whose cranial computed tomography raised the suspicion for thrombus. Documented abnormalities were detected on magnetic resonance venography, diffusion-weighted imaging, and T(2)-weighted imaging. Of 15 neonates with suspicious computed tomography studies, 2 had a definite intraluminal clot in the deep venous system; the remainder showed decreased flow-related enhancement within the dural venous sinuses. In all these cases, the sinus was compressed by adjacent subdural hematoma or sutural diastasis. Of the 15 patients, 5 had parenchymal abnormalities (2 of these had definite intraluminal clot). Parenchymal abnormalities were classified as hemorrhage (3/5), cytotoxic edema (3/5), or vasogenic edema (1/5). Intraluminal clot in the newborn is more often identified in the deep than in the superficial venous system. With evidence of venous injury in the absence of identified thrombus, it is possible that either clots dissolve quickly, escaping detection, or that the superficial venous system is vulnerable to mechanical forces during delivery.
