Article Synopsis
- LAMA2-related muscular dystrophy (LAMA2-RD) is a genetic disorder that affects muscle function and is commonly seen in congenital cases; there is a focus on developing new therapies and understanding its epidemiology.
- The study analyzed a baseline cohort of 18 patients in Switzerland using data from the Swiss Registry for Neuromuscular Disorders, examining various diagnostic and clinical factors related to their health.
- Findings revealed that most patients (14) had the severe form of the disease with early onset symptoms, highlighting significant brain abnormalities in many cases, underscoring the complexity and variability of LAMA2-RD.
Background and Purpose- Literature on the clinical manifestation and neuroradiological findings in pediatric patients with posterior circulation arterial ischemic stroke is scarce. This study aims to describe epidemiological features, clinical characteristics, and neuroimaging data on pediatric posterior circulation arterial ischemic stroke in Switzerland using the population-based Swiss Neuropediatric Stroke Registry. Methods- Children aged from 1 month to 16 years presenting with an isolated posterior circulation arterial ischemic stroke between 2000 and 2016 were included.
