Presentation
We present a case of intractable startle epilepsy with infantile hemiplegia and discuss the indications for a hemispherotomy. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
We present a 6-month-old male infant who presented to our emergency room with acute left-sided limb weakness and head lag 3 days after a febrile upper respiratory tract infection. [smj.org.sa]

Sputum
In 12 to 48 hours after a long bone fracture, the child presents with fever, respiratory distress and blood-tinged sputum. A few hours later, neurological manifestations develop, which may include hemiplegia. [kundoc.com]

Macula
The infantile form presents in the first 4 months of life with psychomotor delay, hypotonia followed by spasticity, and cherry red spots in the macula. Rare juvenile and adult forms have been reported. [healthdictionary.info]
Musculoskeletal
-
Muscle Swelling
Light muscle swelling between muscle fibers. Dark points – that has fallen from the center of the nuclear cells. In the normal condition, muscle fibers closely adjoin each other. [klinikanikonova.com]
-
Shoulder Swelling
My opinion: muscle cells of the neck muscles, collar zone, back, and shoulders swell with each passing month more and more. That is why the muscles can stretch less and less. [klinikanikonova.com]

Tonic Posturing
Startle epilepsy is provoked by unexpected sensory stimuli, mainly auditory, and reveals subsequent tonic posturing of the limbs. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

A metabolic workup was normal and stool culture for poliovirus was negative. [smj.org.sa]
Jugular Venous Pressure

Prominent A-Wave
In such cases the hemiparesis is more insidious in onset; there may be evidence of increased intracranial pressure, and the electroencephalogram often shows a prominent slow wave focus over the abscess. [kundoc.com]
Treatment
Thorough coverage for each neurological disease clearly defines age at onset, course of illness, clinical features, and treatment options. Differential diagnosis tables and treatment algorithms expedite clinical decision making. [books.google.com]

Finally a theoretical foundation of the synkinetic treatment is offered. [journals.co.za]

Prognosis
Because of its sensitivity, noninvasiveness, and accurate reflection of the cerebral blood flow distribution, 123I-IMP-SPECT is useful in the examination of acute infantile hemiplegia and in the evaluation of prognosis. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Prognosis .—As regards life, the prognosis is good, though mental impairment and some degree of paralysis remain. Aphasia is rarely ever permanent. Treatment . [henriettes-herb.com]
This patient also typifies the poor prognosis in infants presenting with acute hemiplegia, fever, and convulsions in the absence of cerebrovascular occlusion. 1977 by the American Academy of Neurology AAN Members: Sign in with your AAN member credentials [n.neurology.org]
Etiology
Serial cerebrospinal fluid viral cultures were necessary to isolate the etiologic agent (tcoxsackie A9). [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Etiology Although the exact pathophysiological mechanism of AHC remains unclear, de novo heterozygous mutations in the ATP1A3 (19q13.2) gene, encoding a subunit of the Na /K ATPase pump, have been implicated as causative for the majority of screened AHC [orpha.net]
Pathophysiology and Etiology Although migraine and variants of migraine have long been assumed to have a vascular etiology, increasing evidence points to underlying primary neurologic causes. Some forms of migraine are genetic. [emedicine.medscape.com]
This work identifies de novo ATP1A3 mutations as the primary cause of AHC and offers insight into disease pathophysiology by expanding the spectrum of phenotypes associated with mutations in ATP1A3. [nature.com]
Thus, even as our understanding of the genetics and pathophysiology of AHC increases, there is a continued need for comprehensive longitudinal natural history studies of AHC. [journals.plos.org]
Prevention
The treatment performed was rehabilitation with oral prophylaxis and extractions of root stumps followed by thorough preventive regimen with periodic check-ups. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
