  • Title: The association of neuroblastoma with myoclonic encephalopathy of infants: the use of magnetic resonance as an imaging modality.
    Author: Ziegelbaum MM, Kay R, Rothner AD, Lorig R.
    Journal: J Urol; 1988 Jan; 139(1):81-2. PubMed ID: 3336110.
    Abstract:
    The association of neural crest tumors with myoclonic encephalopathy of infants has been well described. Since these tumors often are clinically occult the diagnostic modalities used to identify these lesions need to be sensitive. We describe a child with neuroblastoma associated with infantile myoclonic encephalopathy in whom magnetic resonance imaging identified the lesion while other techniques were unable to demonstrate a mass clearly. Magnetic resonance imaging should be considered as a diagnostic modality when adrenal lesions are suspected but not apparent with other imaging techniques.
