Febrile infection-related epilepsy syndrome (FIRES) is a rare epileptic encephalopathy that occurs in children or adolescents. To date, evidence for the management of the post-acute phase of FIRES is focused on drug-resistant epilepsy that continues from the acute phase. Information on involuntary movements, which are newly developed in the chronic phase, is limited.

Diamond Blackfan anemia (DBA) is an autosomal dominant ribosomopathy caused predominantly by pathogenic germline variants in ribosomal protein genes. It is characterized by failure of red blood cell production, and common features include congenital malformations and cancer predisposition. Mainstays of treatment are corticosteroids, red blood cell transfusions, and hematologic stem cell transplantation (HSCT).

Purpose: To review the diagnostic criteria for Tolosa-Hunt syndrome (THS) and utility of recent modifications.
Methods: We searched PubMed for keywords Tolosa Hunt and magnetic resonance imaging. We compared the three editions of International Classification of Headache Disorders and isolated case reports and case series with the assessment of cavernous internal carotid artery (ICA) caliber to find the prevalence of vascular anomalies.

Background: We used a multimodal approach including detailed phenotyping, whole exome sequencing (WES) and candidate gene filters to diagnose rare neurological diseases in individuals referred by tertiary neurology centres.
Methods: WES was performed on 66 individuals with neurogenetic diseases using candidate gene filters and stringent algorithms for assessing sequence variants. Pathogenic or likely pathogenic missense variants were interpreted using in silico prediction tools, family segregation analysis, previous publications of disease association and relevant biological assays.
