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…
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…
The Pediatric Cerebellum
Suresh K. Mukherji, MD, MBA, FACR, Consulting Editor This issue of the Neuroimaging Clinics is specifically devoted to the cerebellum and its disorders in children. There has been substantial progress…
The Pediatric Cerebellum in Inherited Neurodegenerative Disorders
Evaluation of imaging studies of the cerebellum in inherited neurodegenerative disorders is aided by attention to neuroimaging patterns based on anatomic determinants, including biometric analysis, hyperintense signal of structures, including…
Cerebellar and Brainstem Malformations
The frequency and importance of the evaluation of the posterior fossa have increased significantly over the past 20 years owing to advances in neuroimaging. Conventional and advanced neuroimaging techniques allow…
The Role of the Pediatric Cerebellum in Motor Functions, Cognition, and Behavior
This article discusses the contribution of the pediatric cerebellum to locomotion, ocular motor control, speech articulation, cognitive function, and behavior modulation. Hypotheses on cerebellar function are discussed. Clinical features in…
Advanced MR Imaging Techniques in Daily Practice
This article presents a summary of advanced MR imaging techniques and their use in the evaluation of patients with brain tumors. It reviews diffusion-weighted imaging, diffusion-tensor imaging, T2* susceptibility–sensitive imaging,…
Extraparenchymal Lesions in Adults
This article reviews the most frequent extra-axial tumors of the central nervous system, from the most common meningioma to some uncommon conditions, like Rosai-Dorfman disease, focusing on imaging techniques, pearls,…
Adult Brain Tumors and Pseudotumors
Some brain tumors results are interesting due to their rarity at presentation and overwhelming imaging characteristics, posing a diagnostic challenge in the eyes of any experienced neuroradiologist. This article focuses…
