Abstract
Central nervous system tuberculosis (CNS TB) is the most dreaded manifestation of systemic tuberculosis in the pediatric age group. It is associated with high morbidity and mortality due to severe neurological complications and sequelae. Knowledge about the imaging spectrum of CNS TB will help in early presumptive diagnosis and prompt treatment, reducing the development of complications. Imaging also plays a vital role in monitoring the progression of disease after the initiation of antituberculosis therapy. Advanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) techniques have recently improved the diagnostic efficacy manifold.In this review, we describe the imaging characteristics, the role of advanced imaging techniques, and follow-up imaging in various types of CNS TB in the pediatric population.
期刊介绍：
Official Journal of the European Society of Pediatric Radiology, the Society for Pediatric Radiology and the Asian and Oceanic Society for Pediatric Radiology
Pediatric Radiology informs its readers of new findings and progress in all areas of pediatric imaging and in related fields. This is achieved by a blend of original papers, complemented by reviews that set out the present state of knowledge in a particular area of the specialty or summarize specific topics in which discussion has led to clear conclusions. Advances in technology, methodology, apparatus and auxiliary equipment are presented, and modifications of standard techniques are described.
Manuscripts submitted for publication must contain a statement to the effect that all human studies have been reviewed by the appropriate ethics committee and have therefore been performed in accordance with the ethical standards laid down in an appropriate version of the 1964 Declaration of Helsinki. It should also be stated clearly in the text that all persons gave their informed consent prior to their inclusion in the study. Details that might disclose the identity of the subjects under study should be omitted.
