Interesting one. What is it and is it normally positioned?

Tip of the day 💡: Heterogeneous, expanded, enhancing along the margins, much edema....yes, agree!...but worth checking AQP4 antibody status- might save the child a biopsy or debulking surgery! Brain and optic nerves were normal in this case. Final diagnosis: AQP4-neuromyelitis.

Tip of the day 💡: When the zone of acute ischemia does not respect vascular territories consider metabolic/mitochondrial strokes early. Note also the deep white matter lesions which are not acute.

Tip of the day 💡: In children with sickle cell disease, a cardinal differential for this subacute proptosis is spontaneous hemorrhage. This is a very important point to remember! Think laterally this weekend folks.

Tip of the day 💡: Spend time optimizing your axial T2 sequence- still the bread and butter sequence for us #radiologists! Here one should pick up the focal cortical dysplasia instantly with the characteristic tail sign. Case closed!

17/So now you know the functional anatomy of the cerebellum—the homunculus, the functional topology, and organization of the nuclei. So when it comes to the “little brain,” your knowledge will be anything but little!

Tip of the day 💡: When typical phenomena become too overt, we should still remain confident and call spade a spade- like in this unfortunate child with methotrexate toxicity. Remain firm in your convictions this weekend.

Tip of the day 💡: The pituitary and it’s stalk can enlarge and enhance like this during puberty. Physiology is a range of normality.

Tip of the day 💡: Not many causes of a large head a leukodystrophy! Once you pick up signal changes in the basal ganglia and the open opercula (arrows), you have clinched the diagnosis of Glutaric Aciduria Type 1. Do you know which other leukodystrophies accompany large heads?

Thank you so much for your kind words. It was a pleasure for me to meet the “future” of Pediatric Neuroradiology!
