title: Viral infections of the CNS in children: imaging features.
abstract: In this paper, we review the imaging findings associated with the major viral infections of the CNS in infants and children. We approach these infections by grouping them into several categories: congenital infections in neonates, aseptic meningitis and encephalitis, acute disseminated encephalomyelitis and other postviral syndromes in older children, and HIV infection.
