A rare neurodegenerative disorder belonging to the group of infantile progressive encephalopathies. Onset occurs during the first few weeks or months of life with hypotonia, poor feeding, drowsiness and abnormal movements. Infantile spasms, hypsarrhythmia and seizures appear during the first year of life. Visual loss, abnormal eye movements and optic atrophy also occur during infancy. Transmission appears to be autosomal recessive. A significant number of patients have been described who displayed most of the diagnostic criteria and features of PEHO syndrome, but did not appear to have cerebral atrophy on MRI, lacked the ophthalmologic signs and showed no reduction in CSF IGF-1 levels. This group of patients was diagnosed with PEHO-like syndrome. The prognosis is poor and most patients die before 15 years of age, mainly as a result of pneumonia or aspiration. Preferred (foundation metadata concept)
A rare neurodegenerative disorder with characteristics of early onset of truncal hypotonia, variable forms of seizures, athetosis, severe global developmental delay, intellectual disability and various ophthalmologic abnormalities, including strabismus, nystagmus, optic atrophy and retinal degeneration. There is evidence the disease is caused by homozygous or compound heterozygous mutation in the aconitase-2 gene (ACO2) on chromosome 22q13. Preferred (foundation metadata concept)
A rare neurodevelopmental disorder that is lethal in males and with characteristics of variable anomalies including external malformations (craniofacial and digital), and possible involvement of the central nervous system and of viscera (kidneys, pancreas and ovaries) in females. The disease is caused by mutations in the OFD1 gene (Xp22). A fraction of cases display genomic deletions. High penetrance has been reported but expression is highly variable. Follows an X-linked dominant pattern of inheritance. The gene mutations commonly occur de novo. Preferred (foundation metadata concept)
A rare neuroendocrine neoplasm arising from neural crest-derived paraganglion cells (most often in the para-aortic region at the level of renal hilii, organ of Zuckerkandl, thoracic paraspinal region, bladder and carotid body) not associated with catecholamine secretion. These neoplasms are usually clinically silent and symptoms if present are nonspecific and depend on the location of the neoplasm. Association with certain hereditary cancer-predisposing syndromes, such as multiple endocrine neoplasia, neurofibromatosis type 1 or von Hippel lindau syndrome may be observed. Preferred (foundation metadata concept)
A rare neuroendocrine neoplasm of pancreas characterized by morphologically recognizable neuroendocrine and non-neuroendocrine components, each constituting at least 30% of the tumor volume. Based on histopathology, mixed ductal- and mixed acinar-neuroendocrine carcinomas are distinguished. Patients usually present with unspecific symptoms related to tumor growth and/or metastasis, although occurrence of Zollinger-Ellison syndrome has been reported. Resectability of the tumor is the most important prognostic factor. Preferred (foundation metadata concept)
A rare neuroendocrine tumor of pancreas characterized by a well-differentiated epithelial pancreatic neuroendocrine neoplasm measuring at least 0.5 cm, without distinct hormonal syndrome. Tumors less than 0.5 cm are called microadenomas. Microadenomatosis is the multifocal occurrence of microadenomas. Histopathologic examination shows an organoid growth pattern and expression of synaptophysin and chromogranin A on immunohistochemistry. Tumors are often discovered incidentally, or patients may present with symptoms related to local or metastatic tumor spread. Microadenomas are considered benign, while larger tumors may behave in a malignant manner with extrapancreatic spread, metastasis, or recurrence. Preferred (foundation metadata concept)
A rare neuroinflammatory disease characterized by the onset of ataxia, dysarthria and cerebral white matter changes that are triggered by viral infection. Episodic progressive neurodegeneration (manifesting with loss of motor and verbal skills, muscle weakness, further cerebral white matter degeneration and eventually, death) is observed in the absence of hematopathology, cytokine overproduction, fever, hypertriglyceridemia, hypofibrinogenemia and hyperferritinemia. Preferred (foundation metadata concept)
A rare neuroinflammatory disorder with characteristics of brainstem-predominant encephalomyelitis, which typically presents with cerebellar and cranial nerve manifestations (gait ataxia, dysarthria, visual disorders, parasthesia), as well as brainstem, myelopathy and cognitive findings that respond to steroid treatment. Punctate curvilinear post-gadolinium contrast enhancement predominantly in the pons and cerebellum is observed on brain MRI and prominent, perivascular, CD3+ T-cell predominantly lymphocytic inflammation in neuropathology. Preferred (foundation metadata concept)
A rare neurologic condition characterized by focal cerebral ischemia and infarction due to blockage of a brain artery with subsequent impairment of blood supply and oxygenation of brain tissue. Most children present with hemiparesis with or without facial palsy at stroke onset. In addition, compared to adults, children more often suffer strokes in the posterior circulation, leading to ataxia or oculomotor disturbance. Likewise, aphasia is more frequent in pediatric patients. Other signs and symptoms include seizures, headache, vomiting, and alterations in the level of consciousness. Children under one year of age are more likely to present with seizures and altered level of consciousness, while older children more often show focal neurological deficits.
