Adult height in short children born small for gestational age treated with growth hormone.

Background And Objective: Recombinant human growth hormone (rhGH) treatment in small for gestational age (SGA) children has been effective, although there is significant variability in the response. Adult height and the factors that determine the long-term response are evaluated.

Patients And Design: A retrospective study of 80 patients born SGA with short stature treated with rhGH and followed until adult height (23 males).

[A descriptive study of non-symptomatic epilepsy according to age at onset at a Neuropediatric Section of regional reference].

Aim: A descriptive study of non-symptomatic epilepsy (idiopathic and cryptogenic), according to age at onset, monitored at a Neuropediatric Section of regional reference over a period of three years.

Patients And Methods: A review of neuropediatric database medical records of children with non-symptomatic epilepsy supervised from Jan 1, 2008 till December 31, 2010.

Results: Of the 4595 children attended during the period, 605 were diagnosed with epilepsy (13.

[Idiopathic intracranial hypertension: Experience over 25 years and a management protocol].

Introduction: We present our experience on idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH), before and after the introduction of a specific diagnosis and management protocol.

Method: A descriptive retrospective study was conducted on patients with IIH over a 25year period (1990-2015), comparing the last 7years (after introduction of the protocol) with the previous 18years.

Results: Among the 18,865 patients evaluated, there were 54 cases of IIH (29 infants and 25 children).

[A study of epilepsy according to the age at onset and monitored for 3 years in a regional reference paediatric neurology unit].

Objective: A study of epilepsy, according to the age at onset of the crisis and its causes, monitored by a Paediatric Neurology Unit over a period of three years.

Patients And Methods: Historical cohorts study was conducted by reviewing the Paediatric Neurology medical records data base of epileptic children followed-up from 1 January 2008 to 31 December 2010.

Results: A total of 4,595 children were attended during the study period.

Phenotype in patients with intellectual disability and pathological results in array CGH.

Introduction: Global developmental delay (GDD) and intellectual disability (ID) are frequent reasons for consultation in paediatric neurology departments. Nowadays, array comparative genomic hybridisation (array-CGH) is one of the most widely used techniques for diagnosing these disorders. Our purpose was to determine the phenotypic features associated with pathological results in this genetic test.
