Cerebral palsy

Disease Introduction Cerebral palsy is a syndrome of motor and postural developmental disorders caused by non-progressive brain damage in the early stages of brain development before and after birth. Common high-risk factors include prematurity, low birth weight, neonatal asphyxia, bilirubin encephalopathy, and intrauterine infection. The main manifestations include delayed motor development, abnormal muscle tone (such as scissor gait and equinus foot), and postural abnormalities, often accompanied by lan

Pediatric brain tumor

Disease Introduction Pediatric brain tumors are among the most common solid tumors in childhood, occurring most frequently in children under 5 years old. Common types include medulloblastoma, craniopharyngioma, low-grade glioma, and ependymoma. The etiology is not fully understood, but some are related to genetic syndromes or gene mutations. Typical symptoms include headache, vomiting, decreased vision, gait instability, developmental delay, and other signs of increased intracranial pressure or neurologic

Childhood developmental disorders

Disease Introduction Childhood developmental disorders are a group of developmental deviations caused by genetic, environmental, or perinatal factors, including autism spectrum disorders (social communication deficits, repetitive and stereotyped behaviors), global developmental delay (delay in multiple areas such as gross motor skills, fine motor skills, language, and cognition), and isolated language or motor developmental delays. High-risk factors include prematurity, low birth weight, family history, l

Childhood epilepsy

Disease Introduction Childhood epilepsy is one of the most common chronic neurological disorders in childhood, caused by recurrent seizures, abnormalities in consciousness, movement, sensation, or behavior due to abnormal and excessive discharge of neurons in the brain. Etiology includes genetic, structural (such as cortical dysplasia, hippocampal sclerosis), metabolic, immune, and unexplained causes. Onset in infancy is also associated with perinatal brain injury, encephalitis, and inherited metabolic di

Congenital heart disease

Disease Introduction Congenital heart disease (CHD) is a congenital malformation caused by abnormal development of the heart and great vessels during fetal development. It is also the most common heart disease in children, with common types including atrial septal defect (ASD), ventricular septal defect (VSD), patent ductus arteriosus (PDA), and tetralogy of Fallot. Its onset is related to factors such as genetics, viral infections during pregnancy, drug exposure, ionizing radiation, and maternal diabetes

Childhood deformities

Disease Introduction Childhood malformations are developmental abnormalities of the body surface or internal structures present at birth, covering the most common clinical types: cleft lip and palate, hypospadias, pectus excavatum, polydactyly, or syndactyly. Etiology is related to genetics, folic acid deficiency during pregnancy, viral infections, medications, and environmental factors. Cleft lip and palate manifests as a cleft in the lip or palate, causing difficulty in sucking and speaking; hypospadias

Methylmalonic acidemia

Disease Introduction Methylmalonic acidemia (MMA) is an autosomal recessive inherited disorder of organic acid metabolism caused by a deficiency in the metabolism of methylmalonyl-CoA mutase or its coenzyme cobalamin, leading to the accumulation of toxic metabolites such as methylmalonic acid in the body. Affected children often experience onset in the neonatal or infancy period, presenting with feeding difficulties, vomiting, lethargy, seizures, metabolic acidosis, and hyperammonemia; severe cases can le

Childhood central nervous system tumors

Disease Introduction Central nervous system tumors in children are a group of common malignant diseases originating from the brain, spinal cord, and their meninges, encompassing various types such as medulloblastoma, ependymoma, glioma, germ cell tumors, and craniopharyngioma. The 2021 WHO CNS5 classification, for the first time, emphasized both molecular pathological features and histology, promoting precise subtyping and targeted therapy. Common manifestations include headache, vomiting, unsteady gait,

Neuroblastoma

Disease Introduction Neuroblastoma is the most common extracranial solid tumor in children, often referred to as the "king of childhood cancers." It originates from the sympathetic nervous system, with approximately two-thirds occurring in the adrenal gland region of the abdominal cavity, and is most common in infants under 5 years old. The cause is related to genetic susceptibility and gene amplification (such as MYCN). Typical manifestations include an abdominal mass, periorbital ecchymosis, fever, weig
