Symptoma

Periventricular Nodular Heterotopia Type 1

NHBP

We present a case of 18-years old patient, right-handed, without remarkable findings in personal history of childhood, with normal social and psychiatric development. [revmedchir.ro]

In the present case, a similar congenital anomaly in the form of the left ectopic (left iliac fossa) and malrotated kidney was present. [jmedscindmc.com]

These structures were not present in all nodules and were not present in the matched healthy control infant. [pubs.rsna.org]

    In particular, bilateral and symmetrical cases are characterized by a clear female predominance, positive family history for epilepsy, and familial occurrence (Dubeau et al 1995). [medlink.com]

  • Disability

    PVNH7 is an autosomal dominant disease characterized by delayed psychomotor development, intellectual disability, and seizures in some patients. Additional features include cleft palate and toe syndactyly. [malacards.org]

    In addition, PVNH may be a recurrent finding in several genetic syndromes, often associated with additional developmental brain malformations and intellectual disability. [epilepsygenetics.net]

    Previous clinical reports of patients with PH have generally focused on other neurological consequences, such as seizures, dyslexia, and intellectual disability. [neuro.psychiatryonline.org]

    Additionally, and depending on the extent, children may demonstrate developmental delay or intellectual disability 3. [radiopaedia.org]

  • Developmental Delay

    Patients with band heterotopia may present at any age with variable developmental delay and seizure disorder, which vary widely in severity. [en.wikipedia.org]

    Individuals with periventricular heterotopia in whom ARFGEF2 gene mutations have been identified have a severe form of the disorder, including microcephaly, severe developmental delay, and seizures beginning in infancy. [ghr.nlm.nih.gov]

    The questionnaires were processed by the patients themselves together with their physicians and/or caregivers. In 20 patients original MR images were available for assessment. [ojrd.biomedcentral.com]

  • Long Arm

    It has been demonstrating that approximately 80% of familial cases of PNH are related to FLNA mutation, gene located on the long arm of the X-chromosome inherited in a dominant fashion. [revmedchir.ro]

    Abstract Filamin A is an actin-binding protein and, in humans, is encoded by FLNA gene in the long arm of X chromosome. Filamin A plays a role in the formation of cytoskeleton by crosslinking actin filaments in cytoplasm. [koreamed.org]

  • Small Head

    Less commonly, individuals with periventricular heterotopia may have other features including more severe brain malformations, small head size (microcephaly), developmental delays, recurrent infections, blood vessel abnormalities, stomach problems, or [ghr.nlm.nih.gov]

    Furthermore, there were no other clinical seizure phenomena, such as alteration of consciousness, associated with her myoclonus. [jmedscindmc.com]

    Their epileptic histories, the age and modality of seizure onset, and the semiology of the seizures were carefully reviewed. [onlinelibrary.wiley.com]

    Keywords: neuronal migration, neuronal heterotopias, complex partial seizures, epilepsy. [rjlm.ro]

    Medical history revealed complex partial seizures that first began at 1.5 years of age, which was treated with carbamazepine for 2.5 years. As seizures stopped, the drug was ceased gradually, resulting in no more seizures for 3 years. [pediatricneurosciences.com]

  • Irritability

    Significant behavior problems began in adolescence; these included mood swings, anxiety, impulsiveness, irritability, and confrontational behavior. She was diagnosed with mild ID (IQ 61) and an ASD. [neuro.psychiatryonline.org]

  • Cerebellar Sign

    There was neither cognitive decline nor any progressive ataxia or cerebellar signs. No evidence of neurocutaneous markers was present. Investigations revealed normal hemogram and serum biochemistry. [jmedscindmc.com]

  • Aura

    The convulsions were preceded by aura, described by the patient as heaviness in head, and were generalized tonic–clonic in nature, each episode lasting for 1–2 min followed by 15–20 min of postictal confusion. [jmedscindmc.com]

  • Alteration of Consciousness

    Furthermore, there were no other clinical seizure phenomena, such as alteration of consciousness, associated with her myoclonus. [jmedscindmc.com]

After an extensive workup, including STATISCOM (statistical ictal SPECT coregistered to MR imaging), the patient underwent cortical stimulation with improvement in her movement disorder. [thejns.org]

Although rare, gray matter heterotopias may present as movement disorder and should be considered in differential diagnosis while workup of movement disorders. [jmedscindmc.com]

Medical workup should therefore also include attention for clinical signs of impaired respiratory function. [ojrd.biomedcentral.com]

  • Generalized Epileptiform Discharges

    Electroencephalogram (EEG) was suggestive of generalized epileptiform discharges. Further electrophysiological testing, like EEG-electromyogram polygraphy, could not be done due to nonavailability. [jmedscindmc.com]

  • Spike-and-Slow-Waves

    Third, no clinical myoclonus was noted during the EEG recording; the interictal EEG recorded generalized spike and slow-wave discharges, the pattern was not suggestive of myoclonic seizures. [jmedscindmc.com]

    Third, no clinical myoclonus was noted during the EEG recording; the interictal EEG recorded generalized spike and slow-wave discharges, the pattern was not suggestive of myoclonic seizures. [jmedscindmc.com]

Conclusion: Pharmacologic treatment for resistant epilepsy will have a severe impact on patient's quality of life. [scielo.org.co]

The authors suggested that any type of seizures can be seen in these patients, with treatment-resistant complicated partial seizures being the most common.[6] Our patient had treatment-resistant complex partial seizures that could be controlled with triple [pediatricneurosciences.com]

Initial bilateral globus pallidus internus stimulation resulted in successful treatment of the dystonia; however, her movement disorder worsened. [thejns.org]

Prognosis[edit] In general, gray matter heterotopia is fixed in both its occurrence and symptoms; that is, once symptoms occur, it does not tend to progress. Varying results from surgical resection of the affected area have been reported. [en.wikipedia.org]

Cerebral MRI obtained to determine the etiology of seizures revealed left cerebellar dysgenesis and bilateral peritrigonal and temporo-occipital heterotropia (suggestive of posterior PNH) [Figure 1]. [pediatricneurosciences.com]

The etiology of PH is heterogeneous. [neuro.psychiatryonline.org]

Regarding the etiology of PNH, our data favor the idea that genetic factors play a major role in determining PNH in the first three groups for the following lines of evidence. [onlinelibrary.wiley.com]

NH is a morphologically and etiologically heterogeneous condition, in particular solitary nodules may be observed as an unspecific finding either isolated or with various complex brain malformations. [ojrd.biomedcentral.com]
