AI Article Synopsis
- Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is the most prevalent type of primary malignant brain tumor, with pediatric cases being less common but having a better outlook than in adults.
- A rare case of multifocal pediatric GBM is reported in a 5-year-old, who developed multiple lesions quickly after undergoing radiotherapy.
- Further research is needed to explore the genetics, behavior, treatment, and outcomes of these uncommon tumors.
Article Abstract
Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is the most common primary malignant brain tumor. GBM in children is less common than in adults and has a better prognosis. Pediatric GBM is a rare entity, and a multifocal development in a pediatric GBM is much rarer. We report to you one such rare case of pediatric multifocal GBM in a 5-year-old child who developed rapidly increasing multiple lesions after radiotherapy. More studies are required to study the genetic analysis, tumor behavior, management and outcome of these rare tumors.

Factors associated with treatment response in chronic nonbacterial osteomyelitis at a single center: a retrospective cohort study.
Pediatr Rheumatol Online J
January 2025
Division of Pediatric Rheumatology, Seattle Children's Hospital, 4800 Sand Point Way NE, Seattle, WA, 98105, USA.
Background: NSAIDs are commonly used as first line therapy in chronic nonbacterial osteomyelitis (CNO) but are not effective for all patients. The objective of this study was to identify clinical variables associated with NSAID monotherapy response versus requiring second-line medication in a single-center cohort of patients with CNO.
Methods: The charts of children with CNO who attended a CNO clinic at a quaternary care center between 1/1/05 and 7/31/21 were retrospectively reviewed.

Background: Genomic variations associated with dystonia in Asian Indians remain largely unknown.
Objectives: To identify genomic alterations associated with dystonia in the Asian Indian population using next generation sequencing approaches.
Methods: From September 2018 to December 2023, we enrolled 745 individuals including probands with dystonia and family members, in the Indian Movement Disorder Registry and Biobank.
Concurrent Association of Multifocality, Bilaterality, and Recurrence in Pediatric Papillary Thyroid Cancer Patients.

January 2025
Department of Surgery, Asan Medical Center, University of Ulsan Medical Center, Seoul, Korea.
Purpose: Pediatric papillary thyroid cancer (PTC) is recommended to perform aggressive surgery to reduce the risk of recurrence. This study was designed to evaluate the concurrent association between multifocality, bilaterality, and the risk of recurrence in pediatric PTC.
Materials And Methods: This retrospective cohort study included pediatric patients (age <19 years) who underwent total thyroidectomy for PTC between 1996 and 2014 in a single tertiary center.
Multifocal Torpedo Maculopathy Complicated by Choroidal Neovascularization.
J Vitreoretin Dis
December 2024
Associated Retinal Consultants, Royal Oak, MI, USA.
To present a pediatric patient with a unique configuration of torpedo maculopathy complicated by macular choroidal neovascularization (CNV). A single case was retrospectively reviewed. An 8-year-old male child presented with decreased vision in the left eye and was found to have 2 distinct torpedo maculopathy lesions, 1 a smaller hypopigmented lesion in the temporal parafovea and the other a larger hyperpigmented comet-shaped lesion in the temporal periphery.
