Background and aim Early childhood caries (ECC) is a profoundly impactful multifactorial condition that not only influences a child’s overall well-being but also diminishes their quality of life. Given the limited availability of literature on the relationship between children’s behavior and ECC, the present study utilized a standardized assessment tool to assess the association between ECC and behavioral changes in preschool children. Methodology Our study cohort consisted of 120 healthy preschool children, aged 18-60 months, evenly divided into two groups: caries-free (group I) and caries active (group II). Clinical features of ECC were meticulously inspected in each child, and the parents or caregivers completed the Child Behavior Checklist (CBCL), which comprises 100 questions related to a child’s daily behavior. The total scores, the narrow-band subscales, and raw scores were obtained. Accordingly, for each raw score, t-scores were obtained using the graphic display. These scores were then subjected to various statistical analyses including the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test, Mann-Whitney U test, and Spearman’s rank correlation method. Results Results of the present study revealed that there were no significant differences in behavior based on demographic factors such as gender and age. However notable differences were observed in several aspects of behavior between the two groups. Conclusion Caries-active children exhibited significantly higher levels of behavioral problems compared to their caries-free counterparts.

One of the rare complications following acute COVID-19 infection is acute transverse myelitis (ATM). With only a few cases of ATM reported in the literature, an addition of longitudinally extensive transverse myelitis (LETM) diagnosed in our patient would underscore the complexity and diversity of neurological manifestations associated with this viral illness. A 54-year-old patient presented to the emergency department with fever, shortness of breath, nausea and vomiting. The patient's nasopharyngeal swab for COVID-19 polymerase chain reaction (PCR) resulted positive. Few days later, the patient developed bilateral upper, lower extremities weakness, back pain, urinary retention and dysphagia. Subsequently, the clinical presentation, MRI, cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and laboratory findings pointed toward LETM as a complication of COVID-19 infection over other differentials. The aggressiveness of this disease necessitated high-dose steroids and plasmapheresis, pain control medication and rehabilitation which led to a slight improvement in the neurological symptoms at the time of discharge to the rehabilitation facility.
