Abstract
Tuberculosis remains a significant global health challenge, with central nervous system tuberculosis (CNS-TB) posing a substantial threat, accounting for 1-10% of all tuberculosis cases. This article explores the diverse manifestations of CNS-TB in children, with a particular focus on tuberculous meningitis and tuberculomas, as well as their associated complications. Diagnostic imaging, including CT and MRI, plays a crucial role in the early detection of CNS-TB. The article emphasizes the pivotal role of imaging in the diagnosis and management of these manifestations, underscoring the importance of early recognition by healthcare professionals. Ultimately, raising awareness among pediatric radiologists, pediatricians, and pediatric neurologists is crucial for prompt intervention and improved outcomes in cases of CNS-TB.
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.
