Introducción Los tics son el trastorno del movimiento más frecuente en la edad pediátrica. Es común la existencia de historia familiar de tics y de antecedentes familiares y personales de trastornos neurocomportamentales. Los tics pueden comprometer de modo importante las actividades de la vida diaria del individuo. Objetivo Estudio de las características de los tics de niños y adolescentes de la Consulta de Neuropediatría del Hospital Geral de Santo António. Materiales y métodos Análisis retrospectivo de los casos de tics usando la información recogida de las respectivas historias clínicas. Se utilizaron los criterios del Manual diagnóstico y estadístico de los trastornos mentales en su cuarta revisión de textos (DSM-IV-TR) de 2000, de la Asociación Americana de Psiquiatría. Resultados Fueron analizadas las historias clínicas de 78 individuos, 84,6 % de los cuales eran del sexo masculino. Más de un tercio de los casos pertenecía al grupo etario de los 4 a los 8 años de edad. En el 5,1% los tics se iniciaron antes de los 2 años. Historia familiar de tics, depresión y trazos de enfermedad obsesivo-compulsiva ocurrieron en aproximadamente un 30 % de los casos. La comorbilidad más frecuente fue el trastorno por déficit de atención e hiperactividad (TDAH) (67,9%). Se verificó la posible ocurrencia de trastorno neuropsiquiátrico autoinmune pediátrico (PANDAS) en 5 casos. Los tics motores precedieron a los vocales en todos los casos. En más de dos tercios los tics eran simples. En el 59,0 % de los casos los tics eran crónicos, y el 45,7 % de éstos cumplían criterios de trastorno de Gilles de la Tourette. El 43,1 % de los individuos con tics crónicos habían sido medicados, la mayoría con risperidona. Conclusiones De un modo general los resultados de este estudio son concordantes con los descritos en la literatura especializada, subrayándose la necesidad de considerar el diagnóstico en edades precoces, y señalándose la importancia de identificación y terapéutica adecuada de las comorbilidades.Introduction Tics are the most frequent abnormal movement in children. A familial history of tics and a personal and familial history of neurobehavioral disturbances are common in children with this abnormality. Tics may seriously compromise daily activities in affected individuals. Objective To identify the characteristics of tics in children and adolescents followed-up in the Neuropediatric Unit of the Hospital Geral de Santo António. Materials and methods We performed a retrospective analysis of patients with tics based on information collected from medical records. The diagnostic criteria of the DSM IV-TR 2000 of the American Psychiatric Association were used. Results The medical records of 78 children were analyzed, 84.6% of whom were boys. More than one third of the patients were aged 4 to 8 years old. In 5.1% of the patients tics developed before the age of 2 years. A familial history of tics, depression and obsessive disorder traits was found in approximately 30 % of patients. The most frequent comorbidity was attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (67.9 %). The occurrence of pediatric autoimmune neuropsychiatric disorders associated with streptococcus infection (PANDAS) was suggested in five patients. In all patients, motor tics occurred before vocal tics. In more than two thirds of the patients, tics were simple. In 59.0% of the patients, tics were chronic, and in 45.7% of these met the criteria for Tourette’s syndrome. A total of 43.1% of the patients with chronic tics received pharmacotherapy, risperidone being the most frequently used drug. Conclusions In general the results of the present study are in agreement with those of previous studies, underlining the need to consider a diagnosis of tics in young children and highlighting the importance of identification and appropriate treatment of comorbidities.

Los quistes esplénicos congénitos son entidades poco frecuentes, particularmente en la edad pediátrica. En la literatura especializada existen pocos casos publicados con diagnóstico durante el período prenatal. Los autores describen 2 casos clínicos, identificados por ecografía prenatal a las 34 y 30 semanas de gestación, y su evolución posnatal hasta su resolución espontánea a los 5 meses y a los 2 años de vida, respectivamente. Se revisa la etiología, clínica y evolución de esta patología.Congenital splenic cysts are uncommon entities, especially in children. Few cases diagnosed in the prenatal period have been reported in the literature. We describe two cases that were identified by prenatal sonography at 34 and 30 gestational weeks. Their follow- up until spontaneous full regression at 5 months and 2 years, respectively, is discussed. The etiology, clinical findings, and clinical course of this entity are reviewed.

- Abstract
Introduction: Neurodevelopmental disorders have a multifactorial etiology that results from the interaction between biological and environmental factors. The biological basis of many of these disorders is only partially understood, which makes therapeutic interventions, especially pharmacological ones, particularly difficult. The impact of medical cannabis on neurological and psychiatric disorders has been studied for a long time. This study aimed to review the currently available clinical and pre-clinical studies regarding the use of cannabinoids in pediatric neurodevelopmental disorders and to draw attention to the potential therapeutic role of cannabidiol in this field., Development: Cannabidiol is an endocannabinoid system modulator and exerts its effects on both developing and mature brains through numerous mechanisms. Cannabidiol holds a relatively high toxicity limit and current literature suggests that it may have anxiolytic, antipsychotic, and neuroprotective properties. Clinical evidence suggests that early treatment with cannabidiol might be a promising therapy for neurodevelopmental disorders, including intellectual disability, autism spectrum disorders, tics, and attention/deficit hyperactivity disorder., Conclusions: This review hopefully draws attention to an emerging body of evidence concerning cannabidiol's significant potential to safely improve many of the common symptoms affecting children and adolescents with neurodevelopmental disorders, especially autism spectrum disorder.

- Abstract
Introduction: Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is a severe X-linked recessive neuromuscular disease that affects one in 3500 live-born males. The total absence of dystrophin observed in DMD patients is generally caused by mutations that disrupt the reading frame of the DMD gene, and about 80% of cases harbour deletions or duplications of one or more exons., Methods: We reviewed 284 cases of males with a genetic diagnosis of DMD between 2007 and 2014. These patients were selected from 8 Spanish reference hospitals representing most areas of Spain. Multiplex PCR, MLPA, and sequencing were performed to identify mutations., Results: Most of these DMD patients present large deletions (46.1%) or large duplications (19.7%) in the dystrophin gene. The remaining 34.2% correspond to point mutations, and half of these correspond to nonsense mutations. In this study we identified 23 new mutations in DMD: 7 large deletions and 16 point mutations., Conclusions: The algorithm for genetic diagnosis applied by the participating centres is the most appropriate for genotyping patients with DMD. The genetic specificity of different therapies currently being developed emphasises the importance of identifying the mutation appearing in each patient; 38.7% of the cases in this series are eligible to participate in current clinical trials., (Copyright © 2016 Sociedad Española de Neurología.

- Abstract
Objectives: Feeding difficulties and digestive disturbances are common in patients with neurological disorders, particularly Rett syndrome. They may compromise weight and growth, often leading to malnutrition. The aim of the present study was to characterize the nutritional and gastrointestinal status of a group of children with Rett syndrome and to evaluate the benefits of clinical intervention., Patients and Methods: Based on a previously designed protocol, the authors performed gastrointestinal and nutritional assessment of 25 girls with Rett syndrome with identified MECP2 mutation. Intervention was performed individually and a subsequent evaluation involved 7 patients., Results: Feeding problems were present in 11 patients (44%), and only one had partial self-feeding ability. Body mass index (BMI) was under the 5th percentile in 40%. Constipation (75%) and gastroesophageal reflux (32%) were the main gastrointestinal problems. Iron deficient anemia was present in 12% and iron deficiency/low ferritin in another 12%. Hypocalcemia occurred in 44%. After therapeutic intervention all the girls re-evaluated showed improvements in BMI, constipation and gastroesophageal reflux symptoms., Conclusions: Management of patients with Rett syndrome requires a multidisciplinary team that should include Gastroenterologists. Individually tailored feeding strategies are essential to provide adequate nutrition. Early identification of nutritional and gastrointestinal disturbances and their proper management contribute to the improvement in the quality of life of these patients., (2008 Asociación Española de Pediatría.
