To discuss the various imaging patterns of the CNS involvement in leukaemia To emphasize the role of MR imaging in management of CNS complications of Leukaemia To develop a comprehensive approach to imaging diagnosis of CNS involvement in childhood leukaemia

1) To classify the CNS complications into complications directly related to leukaemia and complications secondary to chemotherapy. 2) To illustrate the imaging patterns of direct involvement as leukaemic infiltration , microinfarcts secondary to hyperleucocytosis , stroke , cortical venous thrombosis , possible limbic encephalitis as a paraneoplastic manifestation. 3) To illustrate the imaging patterns of chemotherapy related complications like PRES , vasculitis, leucoencephalopathy , infections and thrombotic microangiopathy. 4) To emphasize on the key clinical and imaging findings which can be deterimental to the diagnosis of a particular condition.
