*Lower limb hypertonia (spasticity), hyperreflexia, clonus, associated with developmental delay in an infant with history of prematurity or intrauterine infection, think cerebral palsy. Clinical diagnosis, but MRI will show periventricular leukomalacia and basal ganglion lesions.

*Suspicion for abusive head trauma in an infant should be evaluated with a '''head CT'''

*'''Epilepsy followed by renal failure''' are the leading causes of death in tuberous sclerosis.

*Treatment for DA antagonist (metoclopramide, prochlorperazine, antipsychotics) induced acute dystonia (such as torticollis) is IV diphenhydramine or benztropine.
