    Author: Arbelaez A, Restrepo F, Davila J, Castillo M.
    Journal: Top Magn Reson Imaging; 2014 Jun; 23(3):165-72. PubMed ID: 24887693.
    Abstract:
    Pediatric congenital intracranial infections are a group of different and important entities that constitute a small percentage of all pediatric infections. The causal factors and clinical presentations are different in children compared with adults. They require early recognition because delay diagnosis and initiation of treatment may have catastrophic consequences. Despite improvements in prenatal screening, vaccine safety, and antibiotics, infections of the central nervous system remain an important cause of neurological disabilities worldwide. This article reviews the most common congenital infections and their imaging findings.
