The pediatric department of AVH is a referral center for neurological, renal, and unresolved pediatric subspecialties cases in addition to general pediatric cases. The deserved geographical areas are the West Bank and Gaza. Most of referred cases are complicated, still undiagnosed and referred for diagnosis and possible therapy. Some of the cases were already investigated nearby countries without having yet specific diagnosis.

The incidence of major CNS malformations detected in the neonatal period was calculated on the last consecutive 33969 hospital deliveries and was published in the Bulletin 2003. In this short article we present few notes about the incidence of small and large heads and the possible inversion of their rates in the future. Hydrocephaly is a heterogeneous entity. In this study we considered the diagnosis when the head circumference was enlarged with the presence of ventricular dilatation or with abnormally enlarged ventricles even if the head circumference was not enlarged yet. If no other intracranial malformation like Dandy walker or absent corpus callosum or other extra CNS malformation was found the hydrocephalus was classified as isolated. Cases of hydrocephaly associated with NTD were not considered under hydrocephaly as all cases of acquired hydrocephalus due to intracranial hemorrhage or congenital toxoplasmosis. Colpocephaly was considered when the volume of the frontal horns was nearly normal and the

Stroke is rare in children, with an incidence of 2.6 to 3.1/1 000 000. Cerebral infarction occurs among children of all ages. The causes of stroke may be thrombotic, embolic, or hemorrhagic. Most commonly, pediatric stroke is caused by structural abnormalities of cerebral vasculature, inflammatory conditions that involve cerebral vessels, or congenital heart disease. Diagnosis still relies heavily on clinical recognition of the cardinal signs of focal cerebral injury. Topographic determination of the injured cerebral area has been enhanced by the advent of neuroradiologic methods such as MRI. Nonetheless, several disorders may mimic presentation of focal cerebral infarction; differentiating them from stroke depends heavily on an accurate history and physical examination.
