Non contrast head CT is often the initial modality of choice in children with new onsent seizure presenting to the Emergency Room. However, many structural intracranial pathologies have subtle imaging features and could be overlooked. The purpose of this exibit is to present the emergency radiologist with a set of challenging cases to help them improve their diagnostic skills and accuracy.   

The cases will be presented in a Quiz format starting with noncontrast head CT followed by MRI. The list of cases wil include the following: Malformation of cortial development Encephalomalacia (post trauma, infection) Cortical based tumors Tuberous sclerosis Heterotopia Infection: Encephalitis/meninigitis, TB, Neurocysticercosis Arteriovenous malformation Cavernous malformation Arachnoid cysts Hemimegalencephaly Sturge Weber Syndrome
