Description
The diagnostic imaging of children with acute, non-traumatic, neurologic symptoms enables a fast and non-invasive localization and diagnosis. A spectrum of typical disorders will be described dependent on the location of neurologic symptoms (central, spinal, or peripheral nervous system). Different non-invasive imaging modalities e.g. US with colour-coded doppler, CT, MRI are utilized dependent on age of the patient and neurologic symptoms. The purpose of this article is to describe the spectrum of diagnostic imaging for each of these common disorders. (orig.)
Abstract (German)
Die bildgebende Diagnostik akuter neurologischer Stoerungen nichttraumatischer Genese im Kindesalter ermoeglicht eine rasche, nichtinvasive Lokalisation und artdiagnostische Zuordnung. Typische Krankheitsbilder werden in Abhaengigkeit von der Lokalisation - zerebral, spinal, peripher-nerval - dargestellt. In Abhaengigkeit vom Patientenalter und der neurologischen Symptomatik kommen unterschiedliche nichtinvasive Untersuchungsmethoden zur Anwendung wie z.B. Ultraschall mit FKDS, CT, MRT. Ziel dieses Uebersichtsreferates ist die Darstellung des Stellenwertes der bildgebenden Diagnostik in der Abklaerung der haeufigsten akuten-neurologischen Krankheitsbilder im Kindesalter.
