This session will provide an overview of some of the most important and challenging topics in pediatric neuroimaging, with an emphasis on practical and clinical implications. The speakers will share their expertise and experience in the following areas: Spine trauma in children: how to avoid missing critical injuries and complications; pediatric stroke and focal cerebral arteriopathy of childhood; metabolic disorders affecting the brain: how to recognize and differentiate them on neuroimaging. The session will include case-based presentations and key take-home messages for the attendees. Attendees will gain confidence in making diagnoses in pediatric neuroimaging that they really don't want to miss.
