A Rare Case of Moyamoya Disease in Infancy: Complexities in Post-stroke Neurorehabilitation.

Although ischemic stroke in infants is not very common, it remains one of the causes of morbidity and mortality in children. One of the etiologies is Moyamoya disease, which remains a rare entity in Morocco. Management of this disease in the pediatric population remains precarious due to delayed diagnosis, given the diversity of clinical presentations and the lack of necessary technical means, such as MRI or angiography, allowing early diagnosis, as well as the lack of standardized international rehabilitation protocols and the absence of pediatric rehabilitation structures in underdeveloped countries.

Scientific Advances in Neural Regeneration After Spinal Cord Injury.

Spinal cord injury (SCI) is a devastating condition that results in loss of motor and sensory function, morbidity, and severe dependence. Neural regeneration, which refers to the regrowth or repair of nerve tissue or cells, holds promise as a therapeutic approach for SCI. This narrative review explores the current state of neural regeneration for SCI treatment, including endogenous neuroprotection, neuroplasticity, neuroremediation, and cell-based therapies.

Solving the Puzzle: A Compelling Case Study of Calcaneal Apophysitis With Achilles Tendon Calcification in a 14-Year-Old Patient.

Calcaneal apophysitis, known as Sever's disease, manifests as heel pain and is prevalent among children and adolescents, particularly during growth spurts and periods of heightened physical activity. Although Sever's disease is well-documented, its co-occurrence with other foot pathologies in pediatric patients is relatively uncommon. We present here a unique case of a 14-year-old female patient who presented with significant heel pain and discomfort associated with flat feet, impacting her daily activities and physical performance.

Hypertonia of the Big Toe Revealing Parkinson's Disease: A Case Report.

Despite being less commonly discussed than other motor symptoms such as tremors and bradykinesia, hypertonia of the hallux holds diagnostic and prognostic significance in Parkinson's disease (PD). This motor anomaly is dissected within the context of the broader clinical spectrum of PD symptoms, emphasizing its importance alongside its cardinal symptoms. This case report underscores the importance of accurate clinical assessment especially thorough neurological evaluation in discerning hallux hypertonia, potentially enabling early disease recognition and intervention.

Post-traumatic radial nerve neuroma: A case report.

Introduction: Radial nerve neuromas (RNNs) are mostly post-traumatic conditions that occur after a complete or partial section of a nerve. Here we report a case of post-traumatic RNN with good functional progression after intense physical rehabilitation.

Case Presentation: A 49 years old patient with a post-complete section of the radial nerve underwent intensive physical rehabilitation with two sessions of ultrasound-guided injections of 10 % glucose saline around the neuroma.
