“…Hyperkinetic MDs are more frequent in pediatrics as compared to hypokinetic MDs. Differentials for the former are dependent on the predominant phenomenology, age at presentation, time frame, and other associated manifestations [1][2][3]. We report an atypical case of subacute pediatric chorea that highlights the importance of prompt diagnosis of a treatable condition.…”

Background: Acute to subacute pediatric movement disorders require prompt diagnosis to identify potentially treatable diseases.Case Report: We present a 6-year-old male with a three-week history of generalized chorea transitioning to predominantly right-sided hemichorea and then to left hemiplegia. Discussion:We review the mechanisms in tuberculous meningitis underlying his movement abnormalities.

The scope for patients suffering from Autism Spectrum Disorder today is far brighter than what it was a century ago. A few of these individuals, after great efforts, can read, write and communicate reasonably well while living in their homes rather than support institutions. Nevertheless, a large segment of adults suffering from Autism cannot work full-time to earn their livelihood. To add to the misery, marriage and long-term relationships are out of reach for such patients. Autism Spectrum Disorder is now redefined as a constellation of symptoms manifested by defective social skills, impaired communication, stereotypical behavior and repetitive motor movements observed during early childhood. Although research in the area of childhood disorders has undergone an enormous development over the past 100 years, the etiology, pathogenesis, and biomarkers of Autism are still a matter of speculation. Autism research has witnessed blazing debates in recent years about the missed diagnosis and overlap of similar childhood disorders, which sometimes turned into academic rather than scientific face-offs. The Risk factors responsible for causing Autism, Classical Symptoms, the latest Diagnostic Criteria, and the Management Strategies have all been illustrated in this Review article with the help of selfexplanatory flow-Charts. Furthermore, this interesting article is a humble compilation of the events that led to the unification of pervasive developmental disorders into a single disorder and unfolded how the concept of Autism spectrum disorder was sequentially evolved. INTRODUCTION:Preamble: Autistic behavior has existed since ancient times, though diagnostic criteria underwent continual modifications over the last century.

“…The Early intervention program was first developed in the United States and Western Europe for children in their first 3 years of life. Its purpose is to detect deviations in the child's development as early as possible and provide appropriate assistance to the child and his family [2]. Early intervention is aimed at developing all the basic skills of the child.…”

Timely diagnosis of cerebral disorders both in the prenatal period and in the early neonatal period, as well as early rehabilitation treatment is the basis for the prevention of childhood disability. To this end, the so-called Early Intervention System is being introduced in Ukraine. The effectiveness of early intervention techniques directly depends on timely diagnosis and correctly chosen intervention tactics. Given the high neuroplasticity of the developing brain, it is advisable to start the elements of neurodevelopmental therapy from infancy. The aim of the work is to evaluate the effectiveness of methods of early intervention in children of the first 3 months of life who have suffered hypoxic-ischemic CNS damage in the neonatal period, by assessing the main indicators of psycho-motor development. 101 children who were treated in the neonatal pathology department due to hypoxic-ischemic CNS damage and did not have concomitant somatic pathology were examined. The children were in the ward for rehabilitation. To assess the effectiveness of comprehensive rehabilitation in young children, it is advisable to use adapted for Ukraine scale of Munich functional developmental diagnostics, which allows to assess the child's development in all major areas, its harmony and effectiveness of rehabilitation measures during the first 3 years of life. Statistical processing of the obtained results should be performed in the license package "Statistica 6.1 for Windows". Timely diagnosis of cerebral disorders both in the prenatal period and in the early neonatal period, as well as early rehabilitation treatment is the basis for the prevention of childhood disability. Given the high neuroplasticity of the developing brain, it is advisable to start the elements of neurodevelopmental therapy from infancy. The effectiveness of the methods recommended for use depends on timely diagnosis and correctly chosen intervention tactics. Assessment of the effectiveness of care for children at risk of deviant psychomotor development should be based on the application of the criteria and scales recommended by international expert groups, which are adapted in our country. Signs of full-fledged early intervention in the region are: perinatal diagnosis of congenital pathology, timely provision of medical and rehabilitation, social and special pedagogical services to children aged 0 to 3 years and their families. In order to achieve the set goals, in our opinion, the priority measures should be steps to implement the national protocol for care for children with perinatal CNS injuries, approval and implementation in Ukraine of the modern International Classification of Functioning, Life and Health Restrictions, providing medical care, rehabilitation and social services for young children.
