- D-2-Hydroxyglutaric Aciduria is a rare metabolic disorder that can cause injury to the brain and other organs. This case report concerns a 14-year-old boy showing irritability and typical signs of pyloric stenosis early postnatally. From the age of 3 months he had epilepsy. He was mentally retarded, hypotonic with preserved reflexes, and dystonic. The features were dysmorphic with elongated head and high arched palate. Cardiomegaly with aortic insufficiency was diagnosed. Magnetic resonance imaging of the brain revealed atrophy, reduced periventricular white matter, and multiple bilateral aneurysms of the middle cerebral arteries. The boy died at the age of 14 years. Autopsy confirmed the white-matter reduction of the cerebral hemispheres as well as the arterial aneurysms of the middle cerebral arteries. Lesions of a few leptomeningeal and cerebral microvessels and of the renal and pulmonary arteries were also found. There were bilateral infarcts of the kidneys and signs of cardiomyopathy with noncompensated left ventricular failure. Signs of myopathy were evident. The clinical and postmortem findings imply a disseminated mesenchymal process. (J Child Neurol 2000;15:488-492).

Herpesviral DNA in brain tissue from patients with temporal lobe epilepsy.
- 2004
-
In: Acta neurologica Scandinavica. - : Hindawi Limited. - 0001-6314 .- 1600-0404. ; 109:3, s. 169-74

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- OBJECTIVES: Presence of DNA from six herpesviruses were examined in brain tissue from patients operated for temporal lobe epilepsy. MATERIAL AND METHODS: A total of 19 Canadian patients (I) with a median age of 22 years, 17 Swedish patients (II) with a median age of 14 years and a reference group comprising 12 individuals were studied. Presence of herpesviral DNA was detected by nested polymerase chain reaction. RESULTS: Of three children with Rasmussen's encephalitis, Cytomegalovirus (CMV) DNA was found in two, and human herpesvirus type 6 DNA in two. In six children with ganglioglioma, Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) was detected in four. CMV DNA was found significantly more in group I compared with II, while the reverse occurred with EBV DNA. Malformations of cortical development were found significantly more in group II compared with I. CONCLUSION: Detection of DNA from some herpesviruses in epileptic brain tissue may possibly be associated with distinct clinical conditions, but factors such as age and malformations of cortical development should also be considered.

Headache in schoolchildren : agreement between different sources of information
- 2003

In: Cephalalgia. - : Blackwell Publishing. - 0333-1024 .- 1468-2982. ; 23:6, s. 420-428

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- The level of agreement between different sources of information, i.e. questionnaires, interviews and diaries, was evaluated in a sample of 129 schoolchildren, 69 girls and 60 boys, ranging in age from 7 to 17 years. Headache diagnoses and headache features showed high agreement between questionnaires and subsequent interviews. The concordance between questionnaires and interviews for headache diagnoses increased, and the number of unclassified headaches decreased, when the International Headache Society (IHS) duration criterion was excluded. When comparing headache frequency reported in questionnaires and interviews with diary recordings, the agreement was low and the frequency higher in the diaries. Overall, the agreement between questionnaires, interviews and diaries was not related to age or gender. The questionnaire may serve as a valid source of information in studies of headache in schoolchildren. Prospective recordings in diaries provide additional information, in particular of low-intensity headache. In children, the IHS duration criterion should be modified or excluded.

Prevalence of headache in Swedish schoolchildren, with a focus on tension-type headache
- 2004
-
In: Cephalalgia. - : Blackwell Publishing. - 0333-1024 .- 1468-2982. ; 24:5, s. 380-388
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- To estimate the prevalence of tension-type headache, migraine and other headaches, 1850 schoolchildren, age 7-15 years, from the city of Uppsala, were invited to complete a questionnaire. The response rate was 74.1%. To validate the information from the questionnaires, 131 children and their parents were interviewed. Using the criteria of the International Headache Society, the 1-year prevalence of tension-type headache and migraine was 9.8 and 11.0%, respectively. However, these prevalence rates increased considerably, to 23.0 and 17.0%, respectively, when excluding the criteria defining the number of earlier episodes and duration of headache. The prevalence of headache increased with age, similarly in girls and boys up to 11 years, and thereafter only in girls. The preponderance in teenage girls was even more pronounced for tension-type headache than for migraine. Our results indicate an increase over time in headache prevalence when compared with findings in a study conducted in the same city in 1955.
