There is a paucity of radiologic literature addressing neurologic emergencies in children receiving therapy for non-CNS primary malignancies. In the acute setting, many of these children present to local community hospitals. This pictorial is from a single institutional experience describing the spectrum of neurologic emergencies seen in children with non-CNS cancers. We hope to familiarize pediatric radiologists with these entities in order to expedite diagnosis, facilitate treatment, and minimize morbidity and mortality that may be associated with these complications.
关于接受非中枢神经系统原发性恶性肿瘤治疗的儿童神经急症的放射学文献较少。在急性情况下,这些儿童中的许多人会前往当地社区医院就诊。本图谱来自单一机构的经验,描述了非中枢神经系统癌症儿童中所见神经急症的范围。我们希望让儿科放射科医生熟悉这些病症,以便加快诊断、促进治疗,并将可能与这些并发症相关的发病率和死亡率降至最低。
