    Summary: This book provides a detailed and comprehensive overview of the role of diagnostic imaging in the assessment and management of trauma and polytrauma in children. The coverage includes imaging of injuries to the head, thorax, abdomen, bone and musculoskeletal system, with careful attention to the newest imaging techniques, imaging during the course of recovery, and imaging of complications. A series of illustrative cases underline the prognostic value of imaging. In addition, an individual chapter is devoted to diagnostic imaging in cases of child abuse. The book concludes by discussing informed consent and medicolegal issues related to the imaging of pediatric traumatic emergencies. Imaging Trauma and Polytrauma in Pediatric Patients will be invaluable in enabling radiologists and clinicians to identify the main features and signs of injuries on a wide range of imaging techniques, including X-ray, ultrasonography, computed tomography, and magnetic resonance imaging.

    Four patients with well documented Reye syndrome were examined with noncontrast computed tomography. Acute findings are those of diffuse cerebral edema with low density in deep white matter, increased gray-white matter differentiation, and evidence of secondary ventricular compression. The diffuse nature of the changes is unlike the more focal pattern often seen in true viral encephalitis. Residual changes after severe diseases are those of nonspecific cerebral degeneration and are most pronounced in the frontal lobes. Atrophic ventricular dilatation was observed in two cases. Computed tomography findings correlate with all known pathologic studies and with the subsequent clinical courses in the patients examined.
