RESUMEN
La parálisis cerebral infantil es una de las enfermedades más prevalentes y la causa de discapacidad más frecuente en pediatría. Los niños con parálisis cerebral tienen necesidades de atención médica complejas y a menudo requieren atención por un equipo multidisciplinar, sin embargo, en muchas ocasiones no existe la figura de un pediatra responsable que coordine todo el seguimiento.Realizamos un documento de ayuda en el abordaje de niños con parálisis cerebral dirigido a pediatras que sean coordinadores en la atención de estos pacientes. Nuestra finalidad es la de recopilar de forma ordenada los principales problemas que pueden desarrollar estos pacientes, saber cómo identificarlos y abordarlos en caso necesario, y establecer criterios para la derivación de estos pacientes a otros especialistas.

Infantile cerebral palsy is one of the most prevalent diseases and the most frequent cause of disability in paediatrics. Children with cerebral palsy have complex health care needs and often require the care of a multidisciplinary team. However, in many cases there is no paediatrician with overall responsibility for coordinating follow-up.We have produced a support document intended for paediatricians coordinating the care of children with cerebral palsy. Our aim is to provide an ordered compilation of the main issues these patients may develop, to know how to identify and address them if necessary, and to establish criteria for referring these patients to other specialists.

Sialidosis is a rare lysosomal storage disease caused by an α-N-acetyl neuraminidase-1 deficiency due to mutations of the NEU1 gene (6p21). Disease severity varies among patients and is linked to the level of residual neuraminidase activity in vivo. At least 40 disease-causing mutations in the NEU1 gene have been reported. Sialidosis occurs in two main clinical variants: type I, the milder form of the disease, and type II, which is subdivided into congenital, infantile, and juvenile forms. We report the clinical, biochemical, and molecular characterization of a patient with infantile sialidosis type II. The abnormal urinary oligosaccharide profile is described for the first time. The genetic characterization of the patient showed two previously unreported missense mutations in the NEU1 gene: p.R78C (c.232C>T) and p.R290Q (c.869G>A).
