Overview
Pediatric neuroinflammatory disorders are relatively rare but important diseases of the central nervous system. This educational session will review the current state of knowledge on those disorders in a didactic way and provide an update on state-of-the-art imaging findings with MRI.

Target Audience
Radiologists and other M.D.s trainees, and scientists with a particular interest in clinical findings on MRI.

Educational Objectives
As a result of attending this course, participants should be able to:
- Review basic pathophysiological mechanisms of pediatric neuroinflammatory diseases;
- Review imaging findings of pediatric neuroinflammatory diseases with MRI; and
- Identify the current state-of-the art MRI techniques in pediatric neuroinflammatory diseases. .

13:45Making the diagnosis: Pediatric Neuroinflammatory Diseases of the Central Nervous System
Ann Yeh

Keywords: Neuro: Brain

 Knowledge about pediatric neuroinflammatory disorders has increased tremendously over the past decade, driven largely by increased knowledge about MRI patterns together with identification of disease specific biomarkers.  This talk will review changing diagnostic categories in pediatric neuroinflammatory conditions, with a specific focus on diagnostics and MRI pattern recognition for neuroinflammatory entities including MS, MOG related disorders in children, ANEC, and AFM.
14:15 MRI of Neonatal Brain Infections
Rupa Radhakrishnan

Keywords: Neuro: Brain

The objectives of this presentation are to a) review the MRI presentations of common congenital and acquired infections in the neonate and young infant b) understand how presentations of brain infections in the perinatal period are different from presentations in older children and adults, c) recognize the impact of early life neuroinfections on brain development, and d) highlight some common mimics of neonatal brain infections.
14:45Pediatric Autoimmune Encephalitis
Yi Li

Keywords: Neuro: Brain

Pediatric autoimmune encephalitis is an immune-mediated, often treatable, cause of encephalopathy and neurologic dysfunction in children.  This presentation will cover an overview of the diagnosis, most common auto-antibodies, and associated MRI brain findings.
