Neuroscience of Tinnitus
Tinnitus is a consequence of changes in auditory and nonauditory neural networks following damage to the cochlea. Homeostatic compensatory mechanisms occur after hearing loss and these mechanisms alter the balance…
Tinnitus—More Than Ringing in the Ears
Prashant Raghavan, MBBS, Editor Dheeraj Gandhi, MBBS, MD, Editor Tinnitus is not merely ringing in the ears. It is a condition that has distressed many a great mind—from the Spanish…
Neuroimaging of Infectious and Inflammatory Diseases of the Pediatric Cerebellum and Brainstem
Cerebellar involvement by infectious-inflammatory conditions is rare in children. Most patients present with acute ataxia, and are typically previously healthy, young (often preschool) children. Viral involvement is the most common…
Vascular Disorders of the Cerebellum in Children
Key differences exist in the epidemiology, pathophysiology, and clinical presentation of vascular lesions of the cerebellum in children versus adults. An understanding of these differences and an appreciation of the…
Pediatric Neurocutaneous Syndromes with Cerebellar Involvement
Neurocutaneous syndromes encompasses a broad group of genetic disorders with different clinical, genetic, and pathologic features that share developmental lesions of the skin as well as central and peripheral nervous…
Prenatal Cerebellar Disruptions
There is increasing evidence that the cerebellum is susceptible to prenatal infections and hemorrhages and that congenital morphologic anomalies of the cerebellum may be caused by disruptive (acquired) causes. Starting…
Normal Cerebellar Development by Qualitative and Quantitative MR Imaging
This article presents an overview of published studies using conventional and quantitative MR imaging to describe normal development of the cerebellum prenatally and postnatally through 18 years of age. Normal…
The Pediatric Cerebellum
Andrea Poretti, MD, Editor Thierry A.G.M. Huisman, MD, EQNR, FICIS, Editor This issue of the Neuroimaging Clinics focuses on the cerebellum and its disorders in children. The cerebellum is a…
Pediatric Cerebellar Tumors
Cerebellar tumors are the most common group of solid tumors in children. MR imaging provides an important role in characterization of these lesions, surgical planning, and postsurgical surveillance. Preoperative imaging…
