Remarkable Recovery After Severe Gunshot Brain Injury: A Comprehensive Case Study of Functional Rehabilitation.

BACKGROUND Penetrating traumatic brain injury (TBI) caused by gunshots is a rare type of TBI that leads to poor outcomes and high mortality rates. Conducting a formal neuropsychological evaluation concerning a patient's neurologic status during the chronic recovery phase can be challenging. Furthermore, the clinical assessment of survivors of penetrating TBI has not been adequately documented in the available literature.

Bradykinesia assessment in children with cerebral palsy and periventricular leukomalacia.

Objective: To analyse the motor phenotype with a focus on bradykinesia in children with Cerebral Palsy (CP) in the setting of periventricular leukomalacia (PVL).

Methodology: Analysis of a cohort of 25 children with CP and PVL. The Gross Motor Function Classification System (GMFCS) and the Manual Ability Classification System (MACS) were used to classify the severity of motor function.

Dystonia assessment in children with cerebral palsy and periventricular leukomalacia.

Objective: To describe the frequency, motor phenotype, clinical patterns and functional consequences of dystonia in patients with cerebral palsy (CP) in the setting of periventricular leukomalacia.

Methods: Retrospective analysis of a cohort of 31 patients with CP and periventricular leukomalacia. Gross Motor Function Classification System (GMFCS) and Manual Ability Classification System (MACS) were used to classify functional ability.
