Introduction: Unfortunately, children are not spared from the devastating effects of the ongoing opioid epidemic. In rare cases, young children exposed to opioids present with unique neuroimaging findings affecting the white matter, reminiscent of what was once seen with diacetylmorphine (heroin)-associated leukoencephalopathy. This constellation of findings is termed the pediatric opioid use-associated neurotoxicity with cerebellar edema (POUNCE) syndrome.

Rheumatoid meningitis (RM) presents with sufficiently wide-ranging, but non-specific, symptoms and neuroimaging features of pachy- and/or leptomeningeal thickening that it may be indistinguishable from subacute infectious meningitis. RA diagnosis variably antedates RM and serological confirmation by rheumatoid factor and anti-citrullinated peptide antibodies may not be present preoperatively. Thus, meningeal biopsy may be undertaken.

Background And Objectives: Disorders of coenzyme Q (CoQ) biosynthesis comprise a group of 11 clinically and genetically heterogeneous rare primary mitochondrial diseases. We sought to delineate clinical, biochemical, and neuroimaging features of these disorders, together with outcomes after oral CoQ supplementation and the utility of peripheral blood mononuclear cell (PBMNC) CoQ levels in monitoring therapy.

Methods: This was a retrospective cohort study, registered as an audit at a specialist pediatric hospital (Registration Number: 3318) of 14 patients with genetically confirmed CoQ biosynthesis deficiency, including 13 previously unreported cases.
