Article Synopsis
- Infants with Infantile Neuroaxonal Dystrophy (INAD) show psychomotor stagnation and regression starting around ages 1-2, leading to severe neurological decline and early mortality, typically before age 10.
- A case study highlights a 30-month-old boy diagnosed with INAD, exhibiting severe hypotonia, muscle weakness, and abnormal neuroimaging, although mitochondrial cytopathy was ruled out.
- Diagnosis considers early psychomotor regression, hypotonia, muscular atrophy, and initially normal EMG findings that later reveal denervation signs, aligning with classic INAD symptoms.
The epidemiology and burden of varicella was assessed through the prospective study of 683 children under 15 years, by 58 primary care paediatricians working on seven autonomous communities of Spain. The mean age was 4.5+/-2.

In our experience, however, careful radiographic study of children with digestive symptoms reveals gastric volvulus to be more frequent than is commonly thought. We report 52 cases of this disorder, and discuss its diagnosis and treatment.

Two groups were established, one treated with individual dose and the other treated with continuous infusion. In four cases the indication of Flumazenil was the reversion of secondary effects and in 8 cases it was elective.
