This article discusses the neuroradiologic characteristics of central nervous system infections in children. These disorders are divided into two groups: those of congenital infections and those of infections in the infant and child. Congenital infections are referred to by the acronym TORCH. Inflammatory diseases in the infant and child encompass meningitis, cerebritis, and encephalitis. The heterogeneous etiologies often can be suggested by the neuroradiologic findings, as demonstrated with computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging. This article also addresses the sequelae of destructive brain injuries.
本文讨论儿童中枢神经系统感染的神经放射学特征。这些疾病分为两组：先天性感染和婴幼儿期感染。先天性感染用首字母缩略词TORCH表示。婴幼儿期的炎症性疾病包括脑膜炎、脑灰质炎和脑炎。如计算机断层扫描和磁共振成像所示，神经放射学检查结果通常可以提示病因的多样性。本文还讨论了脑损伤的后遗症。
