Background - Leukodystrophies, a heterogeneous group of brain and spinal cord disorders, often pose challenges in establishing molecular etiology. Vanishing White Matter Disease (VWMD) is a rare subtype of leukodystrophies presenting with characteristic clinical and MRI features, nevertheless, achieving diagnostic certainty requires genetic studies.
Case presentation - Our patient is a nine year old girl, who developed progressive gait difficulties at around 3-4 years of age.

Objective/hypothesis: We hypothesized that the regularly repeated rTMS would decrease the development of PD.
Until recently, the diagnosis of spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) has been associated with severe life-long motor disability in adults and with early death in infants. The new experimental therapeutic approaches of the last few years have become more and more promising, while nusinersen was approved for the treatment of SMA in December 2016 in the USA, and in May 2017 in Hungary. Our paper presents mechanisms and clinical benefits of this new medication, and highlights some of the other therapeutic strategies still in experimental stages.
