Management of Pediatric Patient with Multiple Cranial, Intracranial, and Spinal Manifestations of Penttinen Syndrome: A Case Report.

Introduction: Penttinen premature aging syndrome is caused by mutations in the PDGFRB gene. We describe the case of a 10-year-old girl with a de novo c.1994T>C variant in PDGFRB who developed multiple cranial, intracranial, and spinal manifestations, including macrocephaly, enlarged convexity subarachnoid spaces crossed by numerous vascularized arachnoid trabecule, hydrocephalus, spinal epidural lipomatosis, a low conus medullaris, calvarial thinning with large anterior fontanelle, and a skull fracture with bilateral epidural hematomas.

Sex-dependent astrocyte reactivity: Unveiling chronic stress-induced morphological changes across multiple brain regions.

However, the bidirectional association between inflammation and chronic stress has yet to be fully understood. Astrocytes are one of the key inflammatory regulators in the brain, and the morphological change in reactive astrocytes serves as an important indicator of inflammation.
