Aims: To estimate the prevalence of neuropathy in adolescents with type 1 diabetes.
Methods: Systematic collection of published studies exploring the prevalence of large fibre neuropathy (LFN), small fibre neuropathy (SFN), and autonomic neuropathy in adolescents with type 1 diabetes. Following prospective registration (Prospero CRD42020206093), PubMed, EMBASE, and Cochrane Library were searched for studies from 2000 to 2020. PICO framework was used in the selection process (Population: adolescents aged 10-19 years with type 1 diabetes; Intervention: diagnostic methods for neuropathy; Comparison: reference data; Outcome: data on prevalence or comparison). Data were extracted concerning study quality based on available data and established methods for determining and diagnosing various neuropathy types.
Results: From 2,017 initial citations, 27 studies (7589 participants) fulfilled eligibility criteria. The study population (47% males) had a diabetes duration between 4.0 and 10.6 years, and HbA1c level between 7.3 and 10.8%, 56-95 mmol/mol. The prevalence of LFN, based on nerve conduction studies, was 10-57%. Based on other tests for neuropathy, the prevalence of LFN and SFN was 12-62%, and that of cardiac autonomic neuropathy was 12-75%.
Conclusion: The described prevalence of neuropathy in adolescents with type 1 diabetes varied, which can be methodological due to different screening methods and classifications of neuropathy.

Background And Objectives: While it is well characterized in adults, little is known about the clinical features of neurofascin 155-IgG4 autoimmune nodopathy (NF155-IgG4 AN) in the pediatric population. In this study, we aimed to describe the clinical features and treatment outcomes in children diagnosed with neurofascin 155-IgG4 autoimmune nodopathy (NF155-IgG4 AN).
Methods: Pediatric and adult patients with NF155-IgG4 AN were identified retrospectively through the Mayo Clinic Neuroimmunology Laboratory database.

Background: Alpha-actinin-2, a protein with high expression in cardiac and skeletal muscle, is located in the Z-disc and plays a key role in sarcomere stability. Mutations in ACTN2 have been associated with both hypertrophic and dilated cardiomyopathy and, more recently, with skeletal myopathy.
Methods: Genetic, clinical, and muscle imaging data were collected from 37 patients with an autosomal dominant ACTN2 myopathy belonging to 11 families from Spain and Belgium.

Purpose: We present a case of Kikuchi-Fujimoto Disease (KFD) associated with bilateral optic neuropathy progressing to vision loss.
Observations: A 17-year-old male was referred for bilateral optic nerve pallor. Eight years prior, he was diagnosed with KFD after workup for lymphadenopathy and treated with prednisolone acutely followed by long-term Plaquenil.

Chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) is a myeloproliferative disorder that commonly manifests in chronic, accelerated, or blast phase. Typically observed in individuals aged 60-65 years, CML is infrequently diagnosed in adolescents. The usual presentation in late adulthood involves nonspecific symptoms such as fever, fatigue, and weight loss, with rare reports of initial neurological involvement.
