Objective To provide updated evidence-based recommendations for migraine prevention using pharmacologic treatment with or without cognitive behavioral therapy in the pediatric population. Methods The authors systematically reviewed literature from January 2003 to August 2017 and developed practice recommendations using the American Academy of Neurology 2011 process, as amended. Results Fifteen Class I–III studies on migraine prevention in children and adolescents met inclusion criteria. There is insufficient evidence to determine if children and adolescents receiving divalproex, onabotulinumtoxinA, amitriptyline, nimodipine, or flunarizine are more or less likely than those receiving placebo to have a reduction in headache frequency. Children with migraine...

Liberato and colleagues retrospectively analyzed brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans for brain lesion volume, Loes score, and growth over time in a cohort of boys biochemically or genetically diagnosed with adrenoleukodystrophy. Demographic data, genotype information, biochemical data, follow-up intervals, and brain lesion characteristics were recorded in all MRI scans. White matter changes were scored using the Loes MRI severity scoring system, and lesions were subdivided into 5 patterns based on primary anatomic distribution.

OBJECTIVE: To determine the incidence rates of sudden unexpected death in epilepsy (SUDEP) in different epilepsy populations and address the question of whether risk factors for SUDEP have been identified. METHODS: Systematic review of evidence; modified Grading Recommendations Assessment, Development, and Evaluation process for developing conclusions; recommendations developed by consensus.
