Background: Infantile intracranial aneurysms (IAs) are extremely rare. IA clipping and embolization have been the most common treatment options. Infantile giant IAs treated by surgical resection and in situ anastomosis have rarely been reported.
Case Description: A 43-day-old female infant was admitted to our hospital because of abnormal crying and vomiting. Multimodal images showed a right temporal hematoma and a giant dissecting IA. With comprehensive preoperative management, IA resection and in situ anastomosis were successfully performed. Furthermore, intraoperative and postoperative multimodal images demonstrated that the parent vessel was patent. Pathological examination showed chronic inflammation of this IA wall. The infant had a favorable outcome during the 3-month follow-up period.
Conclusions: Infantile giant IAs are extremely rare. Chronic inflammation might be involved in the pathogenesis of infantile dissecting IAs. IA resection and in situ anastomosis could be a reasonable choice in the management of infantile giant IAs that cannot be completely clipped or embolized.

Background: Tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC) is an autosomal dominant genetic disorder characterized by mutations in the TSC1 and TSC2 genes, leading to the dysregulation of the mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) pathway. This dysregulation results in the development of benign tumors across multiple organ systems and poses significant neurodevelopmental challenges. The clinical manifestations of TSC vary widely and include subependymal giant cell astrocytomas (SEGAs), renal angiomyolipomas (AMLs), facial angiofibromas (FAs), and neuropsychiatric conditions such as autism spectrum disorder (ASD).

Background: Intrathoracic kidney (ITK) is a rare congenital disease, with only about 40 pediatric cases reported worldwide to date. ITK associated with congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) is even rarer, and we report a case of an infant with ITK combined with a giant CDH.

Objectives: To review the clinical and radiological correlation of the central nervous system manifestations of tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC).
Methods: All patients under the age of 18 years with TSC seen at the Department of Pediatrics, Sidra Medicine, Doha, Qatar, between January 2003 and February 2021 were included in this retrospective study. Severity of epilepsy was determined using the early childhood epilepsy severity score (E-CHESS) tool.

Article Synopsis
- Tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC) is a rare genetic disorder caused by mutations in the TSC1 or TSC2 genes, leading to the abnormal growth of tissues in various organs due to mTOR pathway dysregulation.
- It can cause neurological issues such as brain tumors, drug-resistant epilepsy, developmental delays, and other behavioral challenges.
- The review discusses TSC's clinical manifestations, recommended diagnostic and genetic tests, available treatments, and essential educational and social support resources for affected individuals.

Article Synopsis
- Infantile giant café au lait spot (IGCALS) is a large, benign skin condition in infants that has no established laser treatment consensus due to the fragility of infants and potential cosmetic issues.
- This study tested the safety and effectiveness of Golden Parameter Therapy (GPT) using a specific laser (1064-nm Q-switched Nd:YAG) on 24 Korean patients with IGCALS, where 21 patients underwent successful weekly treatments.
- Results showed complete removal of the skin lesions in those treated with GPT, with no side effects or recurrences, while a control group using a different laser treatment experienced some failures.
