The association of neural crest tumors with myoclonic encephalopathy of infants has been well described. Since these tumors often are clinically occult the diagnostic modalities used to identify these lesions need to be sensitive. We describe a child with neuroblastoma associated with infantile myoclonic encephalopathy in whom magnetic resonance imaging identified the lesion while other techniques were unable to demonstrate a mass clearly. Magnetic resonance imaging should be considered as a diagnostic modality when adrenal lesions are suspected but not apparent with other imaging techniques.
神经嵴肿瘤与婴儿肌阵挛性脑病之间的关联已得到充分描述。由于这些肿瘤在临床上常常隐匿，用于识别这些病变的诊断方法需要具有敏感性。我们描述了一名患有神经母细胞瘤并伴有婴儿肌阵挛性脑病的儿童，在该病例中，磁共振成像识别出了病变，而其他技术未能明确显示出肿块。当怀疑存在肾上腺病变但其他成像技术未显示明显病变时，应考虑将磁共振成像作为一种诊断方法。
