Key words: Aphthosis, Bruxism
A 26-month-old girl presented with episodes of oral aphthosis associated with frequent night-time awakenings and sudden, intense crying. After having ruled out organic causes, she was sent to a neuropsychiatric evaluation that led to a diagnosis of a sleep disorder associated with nocturnal bruxism, causing recurrent trauma to the oral cavity and the appearance of mouth ulcers.

Key words: Lymphadenopathy, Mycobacteriosis
In the presence of unilateral lymph node swelling that has persisted for more than 3 weeks, in the absence of suspicious signs of malignancy, unresponsive to first-line antibiotic therapy, it is appropriate to consider a non-tuberculous mycobacterial infection in the differential diagnosis.

Key words: Limb spasms, Blurred vision, Juvenile myoclonic epilepsy
A 15-year-old girl experienced episodes characterised by blurred vision accompanied by limb spasms, during which she would drop objects from her hands and, on some occasions, fall to the ground while remaining conscious. Initially interpreted as manifestations of the anxiety she frequently suffered from, these episodes were later identified as symptoms of juvenile myoclonic epilepsy.
