AbstractMetronidazole-induced encephalopathy is a rare toxic encephalopathy secondary to the common use to this antimicrobial drug. It has been reported mainly in adult patients but only rarely in children. Owing to possible devastating complication of this disease, clinicians should have a higher index of suspicion for encephalopathic patients on metronidazole therapy. Here, we report a 5-month-old infant with metronidazole-induced encephalopathy presenting with nonconvulsive status epilepticus. A review of the literature in pediatric, as well as adult metronidazole-induced encephalopathy, is also provided.

AbstractNorovirus is a common cause of acute gastroenteritis outbreaks worldwide. The disease can present with varying degrees of neurologic impairment from benign convulsions to rare cases of severe encephalopathy. We describe a case report of a North American infant who presented with norovirus gastroenteritis, status epilepticus, severe encephalopathy, and abnormal but reversible diffusion restriction changes on magnetic resonance imaging of brain.

Psychiatric Syndrome

ABSTRACT Although catatonia is a well-known psychiatric syndrome, there are many possible systemic and neurological etiologies. The aim of this case report was to present a case of a patient with cerebral venous sinus thrombosis and infarction in which catatonia was the clinical manifestation of a possible nonconvulsive status epilepticus. To our knowledge, only one such case has been reported in the literature, which had a simplified diagnostic investigation. It is important to correctly recognize the organic cause underlying catatonia in order to treat the patient as soon as possible thereby improving outcome. Therefore, physicians need to update their knowledge on catatonia, recognizing that it can be part of a psychiatric or neurologic condition.

Background: Angioma serpiginosum is a vascular anomaly that classically presents in childhood and predominantly affects females. Objective: To present a case of a young woman with linear distribution of angioma serpiginosum and review the common clinical characteristics and presentation of this condition. Methods: Case report with skin biopsies and dermoscopic findings. Results: A clinical examination revealed numerous irregular punctate red macules in a linear distribution over the right arm. On dermoscopy, the lesions appeared as multiple sharply demarcated red lagoons. The histopathologic findings of dilated blood vessels in the papillary dermis with absence of other changes confirmed the diagnosis of angioma serpiginosum. Conclusion: Angioma serpiginosum is a rare entity that can be distinguished by clinical and histopathologic examinations. Lack of recognition of this condition may lead to unnecessary investigations and delayed treatment.
