Tales of a Children's Doctor

Dec 14 2020 • 25 mins

In this episode I discuss a baby who, at first glance, appeared to have extensive brain injury following a respiratory illness called bronchiolitis. The baby was unable to breathe or move.  In fact, the cause for the baby's severe neurological abnormality was very different and the outcome was excellent.  The initial concern was that this baby was brain dead but the reality turned out to be very different.  I discuss brain death in childhood. I discuss why this baby failed to breathe, and the recovery from his illness.  I also briefly describe bronchiolitis. In the second half I tell the story of an eight year old boy who presented with seizures.  He had a very specific type of  childhood epilepsy which remits before adult life. The initial seizures were very frightening for him and his family but the outcome was very positive.  I discuss this form of epilepsy (known as Benign Childhood Epilepsy with Centro-temporal Spikes or BCECTS).
