TL;DR: The use of whole-exome sequencing is demonstrated to overcome obstacles by identifying recessive mutations in WD repeat domain 62 (WDR62) as the cause of a wide spectrum of severe cerebral cortical malformations including microcephaly, pachygyria with cortical thickening as well as hypoplasia of the corpus callosum.
Journal ArticleDOI
Congenital Muscular Tortıcollis: Evaluation and Classification
TL;DR: It is concluded that the majority of children with congenital muscular torticollis experience total resolution of symptoms and the success rate of conservative treatment is primarily dependent on the patients' age at the initiation of exercises and ultrasonographic findings.
Journal ArticleDOI
Bone mineral density in children with neurofibromatosis 1
TL;DR: The aim was to detect the status of bone mineral density (BMD) in children with NF1 and thus to help the management of the skeletal complications of NF1.
Journal ArticleDOI
Wii-based Balance Therapy to Improve Balance Function of Children with Cerebral Palsy: A Pilot Study
TL;DR: The results suggest that the Nintendo® Wii Fit provides a safe, enjoyable, suitable and effective method that can be added to conventional treatments to improve the static balance of patients with cerebral palsy; however, further work is required.

TL;DR: Etiology, Apgar score, need for resuscitation at birth, background electroencephalogram, neonatal status epilepticus, cranial imaging findings, type/duration of antiepileptic treatment, and response to acute treatment were all strong prognostic factors in neurologic outcomes.
