Paranasal Sinus Disease in Children With Headache.

Background: Sinus headache is one of the most frequent misdiagnosis given to children with headache. The objective of this study is to evaluate the frequency of sinus disease in children with headache that do not fulfill the criteria for headache attributed to disorder of the nose or paranasal sinuses.

Methods: This is a prospective study conducted at the authors' pediatric neurology clinic.

Migraine equivalents in childhood.

Migraine equivalents are a group of periodic and paroxysmal neurologic diseases. Because headache is not a prominent symptom, the diagnosis might be challenging. The objective of the study was to evaluate the frequency and outcome of migraine equivalents.

Focal electrical status (FES): a new finding associated with polymicrogyria.

Polymicrogyria (PMG), a malformation of cortical organization, may, occasionally, be associated with electrical status epilepticus of sleep and focal electrical status. The aim of this study was to better characterize the latter association. This was an historic cohort study.

Characterization of language and reading skills in familial polymicrogyria.

Polymicrogyria (PMG) is a malformation of cortical development characterized by an excessive number of small gyri and abnormal cortical lamination, giving the cortical surface an irregular and gross appearance. The severity of clinical manifestations correlates with the extent of cortical involvement. The objective of the present study was to describe three families with linguistic features of developmental language disorder and reading impairment, and to establish a neuroanatomic correlation through neuroimaging.

Clinical and electroencephalographic features of patients with polymicrogyria.

Polymicrogyria is a malformation of cortical organization. The aim of this historic cohort study was to describe clinical and EEG features of patients with polymicrogyria. Patients underwent clinical and neurologic examination and a prolonged routine EEG to allow recording during sleep.
