[Supratentorial neuroepithelial tumor with PLAGL1 gene fusion - a new type of morphologically variable pediatric brain neoplasm defined by a distinct DNA methylation class. A case report and literature review].

Background: Methylation analysis has become a powerful diagnostic tool in modern neurooncology. This technique is valuable to diagnose new brain tumor types.

Objective: To describe the MRI and histological pattern of neuroepithelial tumor with PLAGL1 gene fusion.

Decompressive Craniectomy for Traumatic Intracranial Hypertension in Children.

Objectives: Decompressive craniectomy (DC) for control of refractory intracranial pressure (ICP) elevations remains a controversial procedure because of its invasiveness and lack of clearly defined indications, the absence of an established surgical technique, the variability of its outcomes, and the significant risk of complications.

Aim: The purpose of this study was to identify factors for unfavorable outcomes after DC in children with a severe traumatic brain injury (TBI).

Methods: A longitudinal investigation of correlations was carried out in 64 children (mean age ± 4.

Deceased vs living donor grafts for pediatric simultaneous liver-kidney transplantation: A single-center experience.

Introduction: In conditions of limited experience of pediatric simultaneous liver-kidney transplantation (SLKT) using grafts from living and deceased donors, there is a certain need to validate the approach.

Patients: The retrospective study of 18 pediatric patients who received SLKT between 2008 and 2019.

Results: Grafts were obtained from both living and deceased donors.

Mean Square Deviation of ICP in Prognosis of Severe TBI Outcomes in Children.

Objectives: Prognostic value of intracranial pressure (ICP) is discussed in the recent literature. The aim of our study was to find the parameter that could be representative of ICP variations and might become a good predictor of severe traumatic brain injury (TBI) outcomes in children.

Materials And Methods: The study included 81 patients with severe TBI (2004-2014).

Prognosis of Severe Traumatic Brain Injury Outcomes in Children.

Objectives: We aimed to determine prognostic factors that can influence the outcome of severe traumatic brain injury (TBI) in children.

Materials And Methods: One hundred and sixty-nine patients with severe TBI were included. Consciousness was evaluated using the Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS).
