Schilder's disease (SD) is a rare demyelinating disorder. Steroid therapy improved symptoms in all patients, though recurrences and disabilities were common.

Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Demyelinating Diseases
  • Pediatric Neurology

Context:

  • Schilder's disease (SD) is a rare, severe demyelinating disorder affecting children.
  • Its clinical presentation and neuroradiological findings can be challenging to diagnose.
  • Understanding its evolution is crucial for effective management.

Purpose:

  • To analyze the clinical features, neuroradiological findings, and disease progression of Schilder's disease.
  • To evaluate the efficacy of steroid therapy in managing SD.
  • To provide insights into the diagnosis and prognosis of this rare condition.

Summary:

  • This study describes 5 pediatric cases of Schilder's disease, detailing clinical symptoms like hemiparesis and seizures.
  • Neuroimaging revealed extensive white matter hypodensity. All patients showed clinical improvement with steroid therapy.

  • Despite treatment, some experienced recurrences and long-term disabilities.

    • Impact:

    • Highlights the importance of integrating clinical, imaging, and evolution data for accurate SD diagnosis.
    • Emphasizes the unpredictable nature of SD, with potential for recurrences and sequelae.
    • Informs clinical practice regarding the management and prognosis of Schilder's disease.
