Article Abstract
The human brain undergoes a complex and dynamic developmental process from birth through adolescence, driven by molecular and cellular mechanisms that shape its structure and function. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has become an essential non-invasive tool for studying pediatric brain development and detecting neurological disorders. However, pediatric neuroimaging presents unique challenges, including motion artifacts, small anatomical structures, and immature tissue properties, necessitating specialized MRI techniques. This review provides an overview of recent advancements in MRI hardware, acquisition strategies, and analytical methods optimized for pediatric brain imaging. Furthermore, it summarizes the applications of these techniques in understanding normal brain development, neurodevelopmental disorders, and the impact of early-life risk factors. This review highlights the progresses in pediatric MRI, emphasizing its critical role in advancing our understanding of pediatric brain development and neurological health. It also outlines the challenges and future directions in pediatric MRI to further improve imaging precision and clinical utility.

encodes NADH: ubiquinone oxidoreductase core subunit V1, a key component of mitochondrial Complex 1. Biallelic pathogenic variants in this gene produce a broad and variable phenotypic spectrum in affected individuals, including ophthalmoplegia, developmental delays, brain imaging abnormalities, and recurrent episodes of emesis and lactic acidemia. We report female siblings compound heterozygous for two missense variants (Arg40Gln, Val245Met) in with unusual presentations of this condition.

This study aimed to explore the experience and complications of cranioplasty (CP) with polyether ether ketone (PEEK) in pediatric and adolescent patients after decompressive craniectomy (DC). A total of 62 children (aged <18 years) with cranial bone defects due to DC underwent CP with a custom-made PEEK at our department between January 2018 and April 2023. The clinical characteristics, radiological features, surgical conditions, postoperative complications, and follow-up results of these patients were analyzed retrospectively.

Repetitive head impacts from contact sports are associated with an increased risk of neurodegenerative conditions. While studies have examined acute and chronic outcomes in young and deceased athletes, research on middle-aged former athletes remains limited. We employed multiplex biomarker approaches to examine whether brain injury and systemic inflammatory blood biomarkers are reflective of ≥10 years of participation in contact sports in retired, middle-aged amateur athletes.

Parvovirus B19 (PVB19) is an infrequent, serious, yet treatable cause of infection in immunocompromised hosts. Neurological manifestations of PVB19 are encephalitis, encephalopathy, meningitis, cerebellar ataxia, transverse myelitis, stroke, and peripheral neuropathy. The objective is to identify the exact clinical and diagnostic features specific to parvovirus B19 encephalitis for the isolation and management of the pathology.
