The aim of this study was described the cases of anti-NMDAR encephalitis admitted to a Neuropediatrics Department, in order to alert for the importance of early recognition of this clinical entity due to its implications in prognosis. Material and Methods: A retrospective review of the clinical processes of patients with anti-NMDAR encephalitis admitted to the Neuropediatrics Department of a University Hospital in the period between May 2009 and May 2016 was conducted. Results: Diagnosis of anti-NMDAR encephalitis was established in nine patients. Mean age at diagnosis was 9.4 years and five patients were male. Most cases (88.9%) presented with neuropsychiatric symptomatology. Movement disorders were another frequent finding (88.9%) and include chorea, dystonia and dyskinesias. Altered level of consciousness occurred in 77.8% of cases, insomnia and speech disturbance in 66.7%, seizures in 55.6% and autonomic dysfunction in 22.2%. Anti-NMDAR antibodies were identified in the cerebrospinal fluid of all patients. One patient had an underlying neoplasm. All patients underwent immunosuppressive therapy and seven patients fully recovered. In the remaining patients, sequelae included refractory epilepsy and cognitive impairment. Discussion: The diagnosis of anti-NMDAR encephalitis should be considered in children and adolescents presenting with psychiatric symptoms associated and movement disorders. In this sample, although most patients responded very favorably to treatment, severe sequelae were also observed. This highlights the importance of an early diagnosis to initiate treatment as soon as possible.","PeriodicalId":31313,"journal":{"name":"Nascer e Crescer","volume":"28 1","pages":"63-69"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-07-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47323077","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Pregnant women are considered a high-risk group and the condition has potentially associated maternal and fetal complications. The goal of the present review is to analyze the magnitude and consequences of hypovitaminosis D in pregnant women and the safety of vitamin D supplementation. Prevalence of hypovitaminosis D during pregnancy is very high, even in sunny countries. Maternal vitamin D deficiency has been associated with increased risk of specific hypertensive disease of pregnancy, bacterial vaginosis, prematurity, gestational diabetes mellitus, osteomalacia, and muscle weakness. It has also been linked to prematurity, low birth weight, and fetal infectious complications. Due to potential maternal and fetal complications, it is extremely important to achieve adequate vitamin D levels prior to pregnancy. During pregnancy, it would be prudent to monitor serum vitamin D levels and implement preventive measures to reduce maternal and fetal morbidity. No consensus exists in the medical literature regarding vitamin D supplementation in pregnant women.","PeriodicalId":31313,"journal":{"name":"Nascer e Crescer","volume":"117 1","pages":"77-83"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-07-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86189554","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

They are mostly of congenital origin and the left hemithorax is most commonly affected. Acquired diaphragmatic hernias are rare and mainly traumatic or iatrogenic. The case of a 16-year-old adolescent with cerebral palsy submitted to scoliosis surgical correction five months earlier is presented. The girl was brought to the emergency department due to dyspnea and vomiting of acute onset. At physical examination, she was agitated and presented with skin pallor, polypnea, and suprasternal and subcostal retraction. Pulmonary breath sounds in the left hemithorax were absent. The girl maintained blood oxygen saturation levels of 90% with 2 L/ min of O2 and was hemodynamically stable. The x-ray showed the gastric bubble in the left hemithorax, leading to the diagnosis. This case shows the clinical challenge posed by children with children with cerebral palsy, who are unable to define their symptoms and make clinical state difficult to access. Repair of neuromuscular scoliosis has higher complication rates than congenital or idiopathic scoliosis. Diaphragmatic hernia is an uncommon complication, with only few cases described in the literature.","PeriodicalId":31313,"journal":{"name":"Nascer e Crescer","volume":"2 1","pages":"99-101"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-07-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88838764","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
