title: [Meningoencephalitis in children and computerized axial tomography. Clinico-prognostic evaluation].
abstract: A large casistic of severe CNS infectious diseases in pediatric age was reviewed to underline mean clinic, EEG features and correlated them with CT images. We conclude that CT scanning is useful in CNS infectious diseases, above all in the first life years, because it can provide diagnostic and prognostic information and sometimes therapeutic indication.
