Benign migraine-like syndrome with CSF pleocytosis in children / Livia N. ROSSI in Developmental Medicine & Child Neurology, 27-2 (April 1985)
[article]
Titre : Benign migraine-like syndrome with CSF pleocytosis in children Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Livia N. ROSSI, Auteur ; Jürg LUTSCHG, Auteur ; Franco VASSELLA, Auteur ; Oton BAJC, Auteur ; Otmar TONZ, Auteur ; Marco MUMENTHALER, Auteur Année de publication : 1985 Article en page(s) : p.192-198 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Four children with symptoms consistent with complicated migraine had CSF pleocytosis, in three cases lymphocytic and in the fourth polymorphonuclear. In one case the CSF abnormality was found during two separate attacks of complicated migraine. On the basis of the 23 cases reported in the literature and these four personal cases, the authors conclude that, as a rule, pleocytosis is a secondary phenomenon of an attack of complicated migraine. However, in exceptional cases an infectious disease might produce both a migraine attack and CSF pleocytosis.

Titre : Does Migraine-related Stroke Occur in Childhood ? Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Livia N. ROSSI, Auteur ; Johann M. PENZIEN, Auteur ; Thierry DEONNA, Auteur ; F. GOUTIERES, Auteur ; Franco VASSELLA, Auteur Année de publication : 1990 Article en page(s) : p.1016-1021 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Les attaques reliées à la migraine surviennent elles durant l'enfance?
Cet article concerne sept enfants qui ont eu au moins un épisode de ramollissement cérébral possiblement durant une attaque de migraine. Ils remplissaient les critéres suivants: existence d'un déficit neurologique aigu associé à un mal de tète et á d'autres symptômes caractéristiques d'attaque de migraine; histoires personnelles de migraines; évidence d'un ramollissement au scanner; et pas d'évidences d'une autre cause d'attaque. Les scanners montraient que l'aire de ramollissement était sur le territoire de l'artére cérébrale postérieure dans trois cas. Quatre des enfants avaient été suivis au moins 23 mois et aucun ne présenta de séquelles graves. On ne peut démontrer une relation étiologique entre migraine et attaque mais les données épidémiologiques suggérent que la migraine peut constituer un facteur de risque d'attaque.Permalink : https://www.cra-rhone-alpes.org/cid/opac_css/index.php?lvl=notice_display&id=135

[article]
Titre : Hereditary motor sensory neuropathies in childhood Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Livia N. ROSSI, Auteur ; C. MEIER, Auteur ; Jürg LUTSCHG, Auteur ; Franco VASSELLA, Auteur Année de publication : 1983 Article en page(s) : p.19-31 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Clinical data on 24 patients with hereditary motor sensory neuropathies, with onset in the paediatric period, and of their relatives, is reported. Electrophysiological studies were done in all patients and in 15 relatives. The patients were divided into two groups (Types I and II) and their hereditary trait was determined. In 11 patients a sural nerve biopsy was performed and revealed different patterns of histological alterations. The nerve biopsy always confirmed the value of conduction velocity in distinguishing between Types I and II. A genetic discordance was observed, both in regard to the phenotype and the conduction velocity, and there was increased slowing of the conduction velocity as individuals grew older. Thus the classification of these disorders in childhood can be particularly difficult. The rôle of sural nerve biopsy is discussed.

ZYSSET in Developmental Medicine & Child Neurology, 23-1 (February 1981)
[article]
Titre : Phenytoin therapy for epileptic children: evaluation of salivary and plasma concentrations and of methods of assessing compliance Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : T. ZYSSET, Auteur ; A. RUDEBERG, Auteur ; Franco VASSELLA, Auteur ; A. KUPFER, Auteur ; J. BIRCHER, Auteur Année de publication : 1981 Article en page(s) : p.66-75 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Monitoring phenytoin therapy in children is difficult because they fear blood sampling, yet frequent control of phenytoin levels may be necessary because of the age-dependence of phenytoin metabolism. In 22 patients aged between six and 15 years, phenytoin concentrations were studied in mixed saliva and parotid saliva and were compared with plasma levels from blood obtained at the same time. For mixed saliva, the saliva: plasma concentration ratio was 0.11 +/- SD 0.04 and in parotid saliva it was 0.10 +/- 0.06. In addition, compliance was studied in 13 children, each receiving between three and seven different quantities of phenytoin. Clinical judgement about compliance agreed well with the two laboratory measures. A graphic analysis of the relationship between plasma concentration and dosage is proposed as practical method of assessing compliance, because it appears to be both simple and reliable, and therefore suitable for routine use.
