Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) have emerged as crucial regulators in various cellular processes, and their roles in pediatric neurological diseases are increasingly being explored. This review provides an overview of lncRNA implications in the central nervous system, both in its physiological state and when a pathological condition is present. We describe the role of lncRNAs in neural development, highlighting their significance in processes such as neural stem cell proliferation, differentiation, and synaptogenesis. Dysregulation of specific lncRNAs is associated with multiple pediatric neurological diseases, such as neurodevelopmental or neurodegenerative disorders and brain tumors. The collected evidence indicates that there is a need for further research to uncover the full spectrum of lncRNA involvement in pediatric neurological diseases and brain tumors. While challenges exist, ongoing advancements in technology and our understanding of lncRNA biology offer hope for future breakthroughs in the field of pediatric neurology, leveraging lncRNAs as potential therapeutic targets and biomarkers.

Background: Pediatric acute ischemic stroke is a rare yet severe condition with multifactorial etiology, often associated with vasculopathies. Endovascular intervention in children with focal cerebral arteriopathy is seldom reported.
Purpose: Our aim was to report feasibility of intracranial rescue stenting for the management of pediatric focal cerebral arteriopathy with flow-limiting stenosis.

Objective: To develop a set of pediatric neurocritical care (PNCC) entrustable professional activities (EPAs) for pediatric critical care medicine (PCCM).
Design: Survey and Delphi methodology in a panel of experts from the Pediatric Neurocritical Care Research Group (PNCRG) and the Education in Pediatric Intensive Care (EPIC) Research Collaborative.
Setting: Interprofessional local focus group, national focus group, and subsequent national multi-institutional, multidisciplinary expert panel in the United States.

Patients with Dravet syndrome (DS) present with severe, spontaneous seizures and ataxia. While most patients with DS have variants in the sodium channel Nav1.1 α subunit gene, SCN1A, variants in the sodium channel β1 subunit gene, SCN1B, are also linked to DS.

Aim: To evaluate the relationship between amplitude-integrated electroencephalography (aEEG), general movement assessment (GMA) and later motor outcome in preterm infants.
Methods: This retrospective study analysed data from 274 very preterm infants born at Innsbruck Medical University Hospital. aEEG was performed within 72 h of birth and weekly for the first month.

The meninges, consisting of the dura, arachnoid and pia mater that surround the brain and spinal cord, have been recognized from the earliest anatomical studies. First identified in 1787, lymphatic vessels in the dura are now receiving greater attention as their contribution to cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) clearance in diverse neurological conditions is being investigated. New methods have increased the understanding of dural lymphatics, but much is still being learned about their heterogeneity, intracranial and extracranial connections, and factors that govern their functions and maintenance.
