Doctors assured us that with treatment he would be able to walk normally-but would never run very well. The first three years of his life were spent in surgery casts and braces. By the time he was eight, you wouldn’t know he had a problem when you saw him walk.展开更多

It is estimated that approximately 429 000 Chinese individuals may die from lung cancer in 2005, and the mortality rate for lung cancer will double in the next century. 1 Currently, chemotherapy is the a main treatment of advanced and recurrent lung cancer. However, the recent development of tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) such as gefitinib and erlotinib may change the therapeutic approaches for this disease. Gefitinib, for example, induces clinical responses in approximately 10% of patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) in the USA and Europe, and 26% in Japan. 2,3 A study of gefitinib in 31 patients from Beijing showed an objective tumor response rate of 36%. 4展开更多

The patient was initially diagnosed with Bell’s palsy and received steroid treatment accordingly, two months later the patient’s condition deteriorated, and further evaluation of CT and MRI brain was conducted that showed a mass lesion in the posterior fossa causing compression on the facial nerve. Misdiagnosis of facial nerve paralysis is common among children due to multiple related etiologies and varying rates of incidence in comparison to adults. The authors hope to address this issue in this report. Background: Facial nerve paralysis has been a matter of concern for many researchers to understand its nature, causes and presentation according to different age groups. In adults, Bell’s palsy (BP), the idiopathic form of facial nerve paralysis, is more common compared to children where most cases are due to secondary etiologies. Therefore, pediatricians are in an important position to identify these patients early in order to launch the most effective diagnostic and treatment approaches.展开更多
