    Summary

    Cat scratch disease, a cause of swollen lymph nodes, can rarely affect the central nervous system (CNS). This review covers CNS complications in children, noting generally excellent prognoses despite neurological symptoms.

    Area of Science:

    • Neurology
    • Infectious Diseases
    • Pediatrics

    Background:

    • Cat scratch disease (CSD) is typically a benign condition characterized by regional lymphadenopathy.
    • Central nervous system (CNS) complications are rare but can occur.

    Observation:

    • Presents two pediatric cases of CSD with neurological manifestations, including altered mental status and seizures.
    • One patient exhibited focal cerebral abnormalities on neurological examination, EEG, and CT scans.

    Findings:

    • Reviews the spectrum of CNS involvement in CSD, highlighting its rarity.
    • Despite neurological symptoms, the prognosis for CNS complications associated with CSD is generally excellent.

    Implications:

    • This review expands understanding of the CNS manifestations of CSD in children.
    • Highlights the importance of considering CSD in the differential diagnosis of pediatric neurological disorders.
    • Further research is needed to elucidate the pathogenesis of CNS complications in CSD.
