Background Trigemino-autonomic cephalalgias are very rare disorders and even rarer in children and adolescents. We report the onset of paroxysmal hemicrania in a very young girl and reviewed the scientific literature for similar cases. Findings We describe the case of a 1.6-year-old girl with left-sided headache attacks fulfilling the criteria of paroxysmal hemicrania including prompt responsiveness to indomethacin. In addition, we detected at least two children for every trigemino-autonomic cephalalgias subtype with an age of under 7 years at the onset of the trigemino-autonomic cephalalgias. Remarkable features were a vast majority of chronic course from onset on and left-sided attacks. Conclusion Although very rare, trigemino-autonomic cephalalgias can occur even in very young children under the age of 6 years. This should be known in neuropaediatrics.

Initial Symptoms

Mediastinal tuberculous lymphadenitis (MTL) is mostly observed in primary tuberculosis in infants, children and adolescents, and is not found commonly in adults. Mediastinal tuberculous lymphadenitis cases may present with an insidious progression of tuberculous symptoms, including gradual deterioration in the lungs and a variety of clinical characteristics; however, initial symptoms are rarely only chronic back pain. We present the case of a 33-year-old man with mediastinal tuberculous lymphadenitis misdiagnosed as myofascitis. Since such individuals do not develop respiratory symptoms in the initial stages, they often go undiagnosed and can potentially spread tuberculosis.

Squamous cell carcinoma in children and adolescents is extremely rare. Less than 80 case reports have been reported in the literature since it was first reported in 1868. In this article, we intend to report a case where a 16-year-old girl who presented with complaints of change in voice was found to have early-stage vocal cord carcinoma on evaluation.

Global Estimate

Subacute Sclerosing Panencephalitis (SSPE) is a rare, rapidly progressive neurodegenerative disease caused by the measles virus. Spontaneous remission and survival longer than 4 years is rare. The disease commonly affects children and adolescents from less privileged socio-economic backgrounds. Prior to immunisation, the incidence of SSPE in South Africa (SA) was 2.6/100 000 people per year, which is higher than the global estimate of 1/1 000 000 per year. The post-immunisation incidence has dropped to 0.43/100 000 people per year. Currently, there is no curative treatment for SSPE. In developed countries, patients have been treated with antiviral therapy and interferon alpha (IFNα) with promising results. There have been no reported studies of children with SSPE treated with IFNα in South Africa. We report on a patient successfully treated with intraventricular INFα.
