Background: Posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome (PRES) is a clinical and radiologic condition characterized by headache, seizures, impaired vision, acute hypertension, and typical cranial MRI findings.
Observation: A 10-year-old boy with FLT3-ITD-positive acute myelogenous leukemia who developed PRES during sorafenib treatment has been presented here. In English literature, there are 2 adult patients with metastatic cholangiocarcinoma or hepatocellular carcinoma who developed PRES under sorafenib treatment. Our patient is the first pediatric case with the diagnosis of acute myelogenous leukemia who developed PRES that might be attributed to sorafenib use.
Conclusions: Thus, PRES might be a rare, potentially serious, but manageable, side effect of sorafenib that should be kept in mind by pediatric hematologists and oncologists.

Unlabelled: Haemolysis, elevated liver enzymes and low platelets (HELLP) syndrome is a poorly understood, life-threatening multisystemic condition related to pregnancy with a rapid onset, typically observed in patients with severe pre-eclampsia. Various mechanisms may lead to diffuse endothelial damage associated with HELLP and possible brain involvement. A comprehensive review of PubMed, Embase and Cochrane databases was conducted to examine the clinical, laboratory and radiological features associated with postpartum HELLP syndrome, particularly its potential association with posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome (PRES).

Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to assess adaptive functioning in preschool children with developmental disabilities (DD) compared to those with typical development (TD) using the Korean version of the Vineland Adaptive Behavior Scales (K-VABS-II) and to examine its correlation with other developmental assessments.
- A total of 200 preschool children participated, with 81 having DD (including autism and intellectual disabilities) and 119 having TD; various assessment tools were used to evaluate their developmental profiles and behavioral issues.
- Results revealed significant differences in adaptive behavior scores between the DD and TD groups, as well as strong correlations between K-VABS-II and other developmental and behavioral measures, indicating its effectiveness in evaluating these children's adaptive and maladaptive behaviors.
