Neuroimaging of pediatric intracranial infection--part 2: TORCH, viral, fungal, and parasitic infections.
In the second half of this 2-part review, the neuroimaging features of the most common viral, fungal, and parasitic infections of the pediatric central nervous system are discussed. Brief discussions of epidemiology and pathophysiology will be followed by a review of the imaging findings and potential differential considerations.
