Case: A pediatric patient with focal fibrocartilaginous dysplasia (FFCD) developed angular deformity and growth arrest despite standard guided growth management. The patient underwent implant-mediated guided growth for proximal tibia varus deformity which recurred; subsequently, a physeal bar of the medial proximal tibia was diagnosed, which progressed to physeal arrest.

Conclusion: Treatment options for FFCD-associated angular deformity include observation and guided growth.

From the Neurology Department, Unidade Local de Saúde de Coimbra, Portugal.

A 35-year-old woman presented with a progressive 3-year history of personality changes and gait impairment. Neurologic examination revealed bilateral optic atrophy, spastic paraparesis, and impaired vibratory sensation in all limbs, and neuropsychological evaluation identified a frontotemporal cognitive impairment. In this article, we review the differential diagnosis for a young woman with chronic frontotemporal dysfunction, optic atrophy, and dorsolateral myelopathy in a stepwise multidisciplinary approach.

Early detection of focal cortical dysplasia (FCD) using brain MRI in young children presenting with drug-resistant epilepsy may facilitate prompt surgical treatment, resulting in better control of seizures and decreased associated cognitive difficulties. Characteristics of FCD described in the literature are predominantly based on MRI findings in a fully myelinated brain; therefore, changes occurring during early brain maturation are not well known. In this case report, we describe distinct MRI features of a FCD visualized best before completion of myelination of the cortex and subcortical white matter.
