This document discusses pediatric neurological diseases involving cerebral anomalies. It outlines the main diagnostic modalities of MRI and ultrasound for imaging these conditions. The major groups of central nervous system malformations discussed are dysgeneses, dysraphias, sulcation migration disorders, brain volume disorders, hydrocephalus, and phakomatoses. Specific conditions within these groups like holoprosencephaly, Arnold-Chiari malformation, Dandy-Walker syndrome, and hydrocephalus are described in further detail. The causes, features, and treatments of these pediatric cerebral anomalies are summarized.

CT has been left away because of its radiation exposure & MRI is superior in imaging the specific pediatric problem Main group CNS malformations Dysgeneses Dysraphias Sulcation migration disorders Brain volume disorders Hydrocephalus Phakomatoses Dysgeneses Proencephalic vesicles defective development Non-disturbed neural tube closure e.g.: Acephalia, holoprosencephaly Holoprocencephaly Dysraphias Defective neural tube closure Cranial dysraphias Rhombocerebellar dysraphias Dysraphias Cranial dysraphias Anencephaly Rhombocerebellar dysraphias Meningocele Cerebellar hypoplasia Dandy-Walker syndrome Arnold-Chiari malformation Aquaduct stenosis Encephalocele Meningocele CSF Encephalocystomeningocele Cystic rudiment ventricle + brain parenchyma + CSF Encephalocele Brain parenchyma Encephalocystocele a ventricle-connected CSF cavity + brain parenchyma Meningocele Encephalocystomeningocele Encephalocele Encephalocystocele Arnold-Chiari Malformation [Classification Based on deformity severities] Type I Herniation of cerebellar tonsil & inferior cerebellum through foramen magnum Syringomyelia Type II Type III Type II + occipital encephalocele Arnold-Chiari Malformation Type I Herniation of cerebellar tonsil & inferior cerebellum through foramen magnum Syringomyelia
Arnold-Chiari Malformation [Based on deformity severities] Type II Deformation of the brain stem Herniation of tonsils & inferior vermis through foramen magnum MO elongated & overlaps the upper segments of cervical spinal Meningomyelocele, Hydrocephalus Expanded spinal canal, enlarged & oval-formed foramen magnum 4 th ventricle at the level of foramen magnum Hypoplasia of the falx & tentorium Cerebelum is displaced supratentorial between the posterior horns of lateral ventricle Arnold-Chiari Malformation type II Dandy-Walker Syndrome Triad: Inferior vermis aplasia/hypoplasia & displacement of the hypoplastic cerebellum (laterally) 4 th ventricle cystic transformation Hydrocephalus Dandy walker malformation Frequent cause of the congenital hydrocephalus CT / MRI view: the first 3 ventricles are distended while the 4 th ventricle remains normal Craniosynostoses Congenital Aqueduct Stenosis Phakomatoses Dysplasias with disturbed cellular migrations 1. Sturge-Weber syndrome Encephalotrigeminal angiomatosis CT/ MRI : Calcification on cortical regions; leptomeningeal angiomatosis of the temporal, parietal, occipital; atrophy CT/ MRI + contrast medium: diffuse enhancement at the margins of calcium deposits Sturge Weber syndrome Phakomatoses Dysplasias with disturbed cellular migrations 2. Neurofibromatosis 3. Tuberous Sclerosis 4. Hippel-Lindau syndrome
Migration Schizencephaly Lissencephaly / Agyria & Pachygyria Polymicrogyria Schizencephaly Slit-shaped defects along the fissures (sylvian) Stretch from ventricular wall up to cerebral membranes of cortex Limiting gray matters with abnormal stratification Aplasia of the pellucid septum Lissencephaly (Agyria) Telencephalon remains in a primitive form wo/ developing convolutions Failure to form sulci Abnormal development of the cerebral fissure Widening of the cortex Pachygyria
Hydrocephalus Congenital hydrocephalus, the most common frequent pediatric neurological condition (0.3% of all newborn) Imbalance between the production & absorption Increase amount of CSF (N: 150 ml) ICP & brain parenchyma pressure gradient raised CSF Physiology CSF Production: 80-90% by choroid plexus. Daily secretion rate of 500 ml. CSF Absorption: Arachnoid granulations above the cerebral hemispheres CSF Flow: Lateral ventricle Foramen of Monroe 3 rd ventricle Sylvian aqueduct 4 th ventricle Foramen of Magendie & Foramina of Luschka cerebello-medullary cistern (cisterna magna) & Spinal subarachnoid space Obstructive Hydrocephalus (non-communicating) Obstruction of the passage of the ventricular system due to: Congenital malformation: aqueduct stenosis, Dandy-Walker syndrome, Arnold-Chiarri malformations Mass/tumor lesion Congenital inflammation (TORCH) Perinatal ventricular hemorrhages
Obstructive Hydrocephalus (non-communicating) Localized by the pattern of the ventricular enlargement aqueduct stenosis Communicating Hydrocephalus CSF production exceeds the absorption 30% of the hydrocephalus cases Less severe ventricular enlargement, slight involvement of 4 th ventricle, widening of the basal cistern Treated Hydrocephalus VP Shunt Effective drainage, ventricular volume decreased, restoring its own structure Permanent parenchymal damage: form of cerebral atrophy with widened cistern & sulci REFERENCES 1.
