title: [Diagnostic imaging in acute neurological status in childhood].
abstract: The diagnostic imaging of children with acute, non-traumatic, neurologic symptoms enables a fast and non-invasive localization and diagnosis. A spectrum of typical disorders will be described dependent on the location of neurologic symptoms (central, spinal, or peripheral nervous system). Different non-invasive imaging modalities e.g. US with colour-coded doppler, CT, MRI are utilized dependent on age of the patient and neurologic symptoms. The purpose of this article is to describe the spectrum of diagnostic imaging for each of these common disorders.
