At the end of this exhibit, viewers will be able to: 1. understand the different types/ classification of cerebral edema based on basic pathology. 2. know the different causes of cerebral edema which are often seen and more unique in children. 3. correlate the imaging characteristics for each type of cerebral edema in children on CT, conventional MRI as well as advanced MRI technique such as DWI, MRS and DTI.  

1. Classification of cerebral edema and correlation with basic pathology. 2. Causes of cerebral edema to be discussed that are more common in children than adult include toxic-metabolic derangement, infection/inflammation, vascular, neoplastic, traumatic amongst others. 3. Certain neuroimaging features in the diagnosis of early and complication of cerebral edema in children. 4. Imaging characteristics of cerebral edema of CT and MRI findings including advanced MRI sequences such as diffusion weighted, MR spectroscopy and diffusion tensor imaging.
