    AbstractThis article discusses the neuroradiologic characteristics of central nervous system infections in children. These disorders are divided into two groups: those of congenital infections and those of infections in the infant and child. Congenital infections are referred to by the acronym TORCH. Inflammatory diseases in the infant and child encompass meningitis, cerebritis, and encephalitis. The heterogeneous etiologies often can be suggested by the neuroradiologic findings, as demonstrated with computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging. This article also addresses the sequelae of destructive brain injuries.
