Children with acute neurological emergencies present to the ER with a wide spectrum of symptoms and signs. Neuroimaging plays an important role because of limitations such as gathering an accurate patient history and difficulties in performing a detailed neurological examination in the ER, particularly in young patients. The goal of this chapter is to discuss the neuroimaging findings of the most frequent causes of acute emergencies in children, as well as of some less frequently encountered entities.
