The disease shows a female predominance, commonly affecting women during late pregnancy into the postpartum period. The etiology of LH has not been well established and is presumed to be autoimmune based on the histopathological findings of lymphocytic infiltration and postpartum cases. Lymphocytic hypophysitis has yet to be studied in the context of a patient status post-recovery from COVID-19. Since the initial outbreak, additional information regarding the symptoms and outcomes has emerged on the virus's effects on the nervous system. Case: We present a novel case of post-COVID lymphocytic hypophysitis in a pediatric patient at Dayton Children's Hospital. An 18-year-old previously healthy girl presented to the emergency department (ED) with acute onset headache and dizziness for 5 days. She had a history of symptomatic COVID-19 three weeks prior to the onset of current symptoms. Contrast enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the brain revealed diffuse thickening and enlargement of the infundibulum with homogenous contrast enhancement of the hypophyseal axis. Based on the suspicion for lymphocytic hypophysitis, she was started on Methylprednisolone 250 mg IV Q6hrs on day 1-3. Symptomatic clinical improvement was seen on day 3 with a significant decrease in the intensity of the headache. Conclusion: The case illustrates the varied presentation and neurological sequalae associated with the COVID-19 virus. The case described here is the first ever reported post-COVID manifestation of lymphocytic hypophysitis.","PeriodicalId":72572,"journal":{"name":"Child neurology open","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46897692","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}

Summary of Cases: We describe two unrelated patients who were found to have different mutations of the CACNA1A gene, one being a novel mutation, as shown by whole exome sequencing. One presented with seizures at birth and the other with seizures at 17 months old, both eventually exhibiting intractable epilepsy, ischemic stroke, and developmental delays. Results: Whole exome sequencing demonstrated de novo pathogenic mutations in the CACNA1A gene, which both caused similar phenotypes in unrelated patients. Conclusion: Pediatric patients who present with ischemic stroke and a history of seizures should be evaluated for CACNA1A mutations, as prompt recognition can help providers facilitate appropriate medical management.","PeriodicalId":72572,"journal":{"name":"Child neurology open","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42770045","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}

Genetic testing identified maternal inheritance of the most common pathogenic FKRP variant c.826C>A (p.L276I). Also detected was a novel insertion and duplication on the paternally inherited FKRP allele: a single nucleotide insertion (c.948_949insC) and an eighteen nucleotide duplication (c.999_1017dup18) predicted to result in premature translation termination (p.E389*). Based on the clinical features and course of the patient, heterozygosity for the common pathogenic FKRP variant, and abnormal glycosylation of alpha-dystroglycan, we suggest that the novel FKRP insertion and duplication are pathogenic.
