Spontaneous cerebellar haematomas in previously well children are most often caused by haemorrhage from small angiomas. Eight such cases in children 12 years of age or younger have been reported previously. Their clinical course was usually not as acute as the course most commonly seen in adults, and four of the children survived after evacuation of the haematoma. Two additional cases are presented. Both children were admitted in a comatose state, but survived after surgical intervention. Cerebellar haematomas in children seem to have a better prognosis than in adults and should be considered in the evaluation of children with subarachnoid haemorrhage or the rapid onset of coma. Even if admitted in extremis, recovery is possible after prompt diagnosis and surgical evacuation of the haematoma.

Anti-GluK2 antibody-positive autoimmune encephalitis concurrent with multiple myeloma: a case report.
BMC Neurol
January 2025
Neurology Department, Central Hospital of Dalian University of Technology, Dalian City, 116000, China.
Background: Autoimmune encephalitis associated with anti-GluK2 antibodies is a recently identified condition, typically characterized by cerebellar ataxia. This case report presents a unique clinical manifestation involving involuntary movements and emotional dysregulation, expanding the known phenotype spectrum.
Case Presentation: A 60-year-old woman presented with a two-year history of involuntary movements predominantly affecting her lower limbs and facial muscles, occasionally accompanied by hysterical shouting.
Development and validation of a nomogram to predict the probability of death after surgical evacuation for traumatic intracranial hemorrhage.

Here we describe the derivation and validation of a prognostic nomogram for patients with Traumatic Intracranial Hemorrhage (tICH) after surgical evacuation. This is a retrospective study based on 245 patients admitted to the Department of Neurosurgery of Huashan Hospital affiliated to Fudan University, between August 2005, and August 2023. We divided the dataset into primary and validation data by the ratio of 7:3.

Department of Head and Neck Surgery, Hubei Cancer Hospital, Tongji Medical College, Huazhong University of Science and Technology, Wuhan, Hubei Province, China.
Rationale: Cerebellar pontine angle lipomas with trigeminal neuralgia are rare. The treatment choice is influenced by whether the pain is caused by the lipoma or the compression of blood vessels. Herein, we aimed to report a case of the disease and provide a reference for its treatment.

Department of Neurology, Mayo Clinic, Rochester, MN.
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.
Choroid plexus-targeted viral gene therapy for alpha-mannosidosis, a prototypical neurometabolic lysosomal storage disease.

The choroid plexuses (CP) are highly vascularized structures that project into the ventricles of the vertebrate brain. The polarized epithelia of the CP produce cerebrospinal fluid by transporting water and ions into the ventricles from the blood and normally secrete a large number of proteins. We assessed the feasibility of selective CP transduction with recombinant adeno-associated virus (rAAV) gene therapy vectors for treatment of lysosomal storage disease (LSD), a broad category of neurometabolic illness associated with significant burdens to affected patients and their families.
