A 2-year-old child was referred to the authors' pediatric retina service for bilateral retinal folds, strabismus, and psychomotor retardation, as well as marked thinning of the corpus callosum. Family history was unremarkable and genetic testing revealed a previously undescribed mutation in the LRP5 gene. Widefield fundus photography, fluorescein angiography, and spectral-domain optical coherence tomography were used to image the retinal fundus. The authors' case suggests a correlation between LRP5 and neurological development, since its variants may lead to a syndromic condition characterized by FEVR-like abnormalities along with neurodevelopmental delay and hypoplasia of the corpus callosum.

Riga-Fede disease (RFD) is a rare, benign condition marked by traumatic ulceration on the tongue's ventral side in infants. It arises from friction between the tongue and lower incisors during sucking, potentially worsening into a keratinized lesion if the cause is not addressed. This report details the case of a 1-year-6-month-old male with hydrocephalus, cleft palate, corpus callosum dysgenesis, neuropsychomotor developmental delay, and tracheostomy and gastrostomy needs.

Gliomas are highly heterogeneous and often include a nonenhancing component that is hyperintense on T weighted MRI. This can often not be distinguished from secondary gliosis and surrounding edema. We hypothesized that the extent of these T hyperintense areas can more accurately be determined on high-quality 7 T MRI scans.

Objective: GM1 gangliosidosis is a rare lysosomal storage disorder characterized by the accumulation of GM1 gangliosides in neuronal cells, resulting in severe neurodegeneration. Currently, limited data exists on the brain volumetric changes associated with this disease. This study focuses on the late-infantile and juvenile subtypes of type II GM1 gangliosidosis, aiming to quantify brain volumetric characteristics to track disease progression.

Purpose: To determine whether there is a difference in apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) and fractional anisotropy (FA) values in white matter pathways in the subacute period after COVID-19 infection and to evaluate the correlation between diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) metrics and laboratory findings.
Material And Methods: The study included 64 healthy controls and 91 patients. Patients were classified as group 1 (all patients, n = 91), group 2 (outpatients, n = 58), or group 3 (inpatients, n = 33).
