Article Synopsis
- - The study reviewed 11 pediatric patients diagnosed with neurosarcoidosis (NS), predominantly affecting girls, with an average diagnosis age of around 10 to 11.5 years, highlighting typical neurological symptoms such as headaches and eye involvement.
- - Most patients experienced meningitis and were treated primarily with corticosteroids and TNF-alpha inhibitors, with eight out of 11 requiring biologic therapies to achieve remission.
- - The findings emphasize the importance of recognizing the clinical features of pediatric NS and suggest that early intervention with TNF-alpha biologics can lead to better management outcomes for these children.
Article Synopsis
- Paediatric granulomatous uveitis (PGU) is a rare eye condition in kids that can cause serious problems with vision if not diagnosed early.
- The study looked at 50 young patients to understand the causes, treatments, and outcomes related to this condition.
- Most cases were either "idiopathic" (no known cause) or caused by sarcoidosis, and many kids experienced complications, so doctors often used treatments like corticosteroids and methotrexate.

Methods: We made a nationwide retrospective observational study between 1988 and 2019. All adult patients met the ACR diagnostic criteria for TAK and all children met the EULAR/PRINTO/PRES criteria for paediatric TAK.
