Article Synopsis
- Area Postrema Syndrome (APS) is a rare childhood condition characterized by severe nausea and hiccups, often related to serious diseases like neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorders (NMOSD) and brainstem glioma.
- The study analyzed two unrelated Japanese cases of APS to assess the causes and outcomes, including detailed radiological and autoantibody examinations.
- Results showed that the 14-year-old with NMOSD improved with treatment, while the 9-year-old with a glioma faced long-term persistent symptoms, indicating varying prognoses based on age and underlying conditions.
