This study used diffusion tensor tractography to evaluate the diffusion parameters of the corpsus callosum and asymmetry in the diffusion parameters of the corticospinal tracts in children with congenital hemiparesis. Precision moving critically correlates with the integrity of the pyramidal tracts as evidenced in congenital hemiparesis by the correlation found between corticospinal lesions and motor deficits. Therefore we hypothesize that diffusion parameters correlate with the severity of hemiparesis measured using the Bayley Scales of Infant Development.

Sturge-Weber syndrome (SWS) is a rare congenital neurocutaneous disorder typically caused by a somatic mosaic mutation in R183Q . At-risk children present at birth with a capillary malformation port-wine birthmark. The primary diagnostic characteristic of the disorder includes leptomeningeal enhancement of the brain, which demonstrates abnormal blood vessels and results in impaired venous drainage and impaired local cerebral perfusion.

Article Synopsis
- A 3-month-old Cane Corso puppy suffered from severe symptoms, including hindlimb lameness and eventual paralysis, leading to its critical condition at the Purdue Veterinary Hospital.
- Blood tests revealed significant abnormalities, including high levels of creatine kinase, and the puppy tragically went into cardiac arrest shortly after diagnostics.
- Necropsy findings showed widespread muscle degeneration and inflammation, along with protozoal cysts confirmed by elevated antibody levels, highlighting disseminated neosporosis as a rare but critical cause of ascending paresis in young dogs.
