Drug-related complications in infants and children: imaging features.
Iatrogenic disorders continue to be an important cause of morbidity and mortality in infants and children. Most adverse drug reactions have no distinctive radiologic features. Of those with radiologic manifestations, it is usually impossible to differentiate iatrogenic disorders from their spontaneously occurring counterparts. However, certain iatrogenic disorders have distinctive imaging characteristics that allow their recognition in specific patient populations. This review considers a variety of drug-related disorders and phenomena that have been the subject of original articles in the English language literature since 1984.
