Article Abstract
A case of Aicardi syndrome associated with a choroid plexus papilloma of the third and both lateral ventricles in a 15 months old baby girl is repported. The tumor was completely removed via three craniotomies. Reports of the literature with the association of choroid plexus papilloma and Aicardi syndrome are rare. We suggest that children diagnosed with Aicardi syndrome should routinely undergo imaging studies of the brain, such as computed tomography or magnetic resonance.

Mutations in the human ADAR gene encoding adenosine deaminase acting on RNA 1 (ADAR1) cause Aicardi-Goutières syndrome 6 (AGS6); a severe auto-inflammatory encephalopathy with aberrant interferon (IFN) induction. AdarΔ2-13 null mutant mouse embryos lacking ADAR1 protein die with high levels of IFN-stimulated gene (ISG) transcripts. In Adar Mavs double mutants also lacking the Mitochondrial antiviral signaling (MAVS) adaptor, the aberrant IFN induction is prevented.

Background: Aicardi-Goutières Syndrome (AGS) is a rare neuroinflammatory condition characterized by early-onset symptoms that extend outside the nervous system. Due to the rarity of the disease, the pathogenesis is not well understood, and its diagnosis and treatment remain elusive. We recently demonstrated mitochondrial abnormalities and increased reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels in lymphoblastoid cell lines (LCLs) derived from - and -mutated AGS patients.

Krabbe disease is an autosomal recessive, rare affliction characterised by progressive demyelination with neurodegeneration and peripheral nerve involvement. This report describes unique presentations in two children with cerebral calcifications. A female infant born to non-consanguineous parents presented with posturing and tightening of limbs, multiple paroxysmal events, loss of attained milestones and feeding difficulty.

Cystatin F is an endogenous cysteine protease inhibitor that belongs to the type II cystatin family. It has several unique characteristic structures that determine some of its specific functions. Cystatin F is expressed predominantly in peripheral immune cells and in the microglia of the central nervous system (CNS).
