Imaging Features of the Brain Cerebral Vessels and Spine inPediatric Tuberculous Meningitis with Associated Hydrocephalus

摘要

BackgroundPediatric tuberculous meningitis leads to high rates of mortality and morbidity. Prompt diagnosis and initiation of treatment are challenging; imaging findings play a key role in establishing the presumptive diagnosis. General brain imaging findings are well reported; however, specific data on cerebral vascular and spinal involvement in children are sparse.
