TL;DR: Sinovenous thrombosis in children affects primarily neonates and results in neurologic impairment or death in approximately half the cases, and the occurrence of venous infarcts or seizures portends a poor outcome.
Journal ArticleDOI
Practice parameter: Evaluation of the child with global developmental delay Report of the Quality Standards Subcommittee of the American Academy of Neurology and The Practice Committee of the Child Neurology Society
Michael Shevell,Stephen Ashwal,Diane Donley,Jonathan Flint,M. Gingold,Deborah Hirtz,Annette Majnemer,M. Noetzel,Raj D. Sheth +8 more
TL;DR: A specific etiology can be determined in the majority of children with global developmental delay and certain routine screening tests are indicated and depending on history and examination findings, additional specific testing may be performed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Practice Parameter: Diagnostic assessment of the child with cerebral palsy Report of the Quality Standards Subcommittee of the American Academy of Neurology and the Practice Committee of the Child Neurology Society
Stephen Ashwal,Stephen Ashwal,Barry S. Russman,Peter A. Blasco,Geoffrey P. Miller,A. Sandler,Michael Shevell,Richard D. Stevenson +7 more
TL;DR: Neuroimaging results in children with CP are commonly abnormal and may help determine the etiology, and screening for associated conditions is warranted as part of the initial evaluation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Comprehensive Evaluation of the Child With Intellectual Disability or Global Developmental Delays
TL;DR: Chromosome microarray is designated as a first-line test and replaces the standard karyotype and fluorescent in situ hybridization subtelomere tests for the child with intellectual disability of unknown etiology and the role of brain MRI remains important in certain patients.
