Associated impairments among children with cerebral palsy: findings from a cross-sectional hospital-based study in Vietnam.

Objective: This study aims to explore the associated impairments of cerebral palsy (CP) and their correlates among children with CP in Vietnam.

Design: Descriptive cross-sectional study using hospital-based surveillance.

Setting: National Children's Hospital, Hanoi, Vietnam between June and November 2017.

Data on cerebral palsy in Vietnam will inform clinical practice and policy in low and middle-income countries.

Purpose: To document known risk factors, clinical severity, associated impairments and rehabilitation status of children presenting with cerebral palsy (CP) to the National Children's Hospital (NCH) in Hanoi, Vietnam.

Materials And Methods: Active prospective ascertainment of cases of CP presenting between June and November 2017 to the NCH using surveillance modelled on the Paediatric Active Enhanced Disease Surveillance system in Australia.

Results: Data were collected on 765 children with CP (mean age: 2 years 7 months (SD 2 y 6 mo).

Nutritional Status of Children with Cerebral Palsy-Findings from Prospective Hospital-Based Surveillance in Vietnam Indicate a Need for Action.

Background: Lack of evidence on the burden and risk factors for malnutrition among children with cerebral palsy (CP) in Vietnam limits evidence-based interventions. We aimed to define the nutritional status of children with CP in Vietnam.

Materials And Methods: The study utilized data from active prospective hospital-based surveillance modelled on the Pediatric Active Enhanced Disease Surveillance system.

The progression of an infundibulum to aneurysm formation and rupture: case report and literature review.

Objective And Importance: Infundibula (IFs) are funnel-shaped symmetrical enlargements that occur at the origins of cerebral arteries and are apparent on 7 to 25% of otherwise normal angiograms. They are frequently considered as normal anatomic variants of no pathogenic significance.

Clinical Presentation: We report the case of a ruptured posterior communicating artery aneurysm that had developed at the site of a previously known IF in a 49-year-old hypertensive woman.

Papilloedema, an unusual complication of mastoidectomy.

We report a very unusual case of a patient with a previously undiagnosed congenital absence of the left dural venous drainage system and a prominent system on the right. Due to its prominence it was at risk during a cortical mastoidectomy performed as part of an endolymphatic sac decompression procedure. Manipulation of the lateral venous sinus resulted in partial occlusion of the already compromised venous drainage.
