“…It is commonly caused by neurovascular compression in the prepontine cistern as a result of abnormal vessels, vascular malformation, tumors, cysts, aneurysm, or arachnoiditis (47). Several studies have reported trigeminal neuralgia due to involvement of the trigeminal nerve in some intracranial masses in children (48)(49)(50) (Fig 10).…”

Cranial nerve disorders are uncommon disease conditions encountered in pediatric patients, and can be categorized as congenital, inflammatory, traumatic, or tumorous conditions that involve the cranial nerve itself or propagation of the disorder from adjacent organs. However, determination of the normal course, as well as abnormalities, of cranial nerves in pediatric patients is challenging because of the small caliber of the cranial nerve, as well as the small intracranial and skull base structures. With the help of recently developed magnetic resonance (MR) imaging techniques that provide higher spatial resolution and fast imaging techniques including three-dimensional MR images with or without the use of gadolinium contrast agent, radiologists can more easily diagnose disease conditions that involve the small cranial nerves, such as the oculomotor, abducens, facial, and hypoglossal nerves, as well as normal radiologic anatomy, even in very young children. If cranial nerve involvement is suspected, careful evaluation of the cranial nerves should include specific MR imaging protocols. Localization is an important consideration in cranial nerve imaging, and should cover entire pathways and target organs as much as possible. Therefore, radiologists should be familiar not only with the various diseases that cause cranial nerve dysfunction, and the entire course of each cranial nerve including the intra-axial nuclei and fibers, but also the technical considerations for optimal imaging of pediatric cranial nerves. In this article, we briefly review normal cranial nerve anatomy and imaging findings of various pediatric cranial nerve dysfunctions, as well as the technical considerations of pediatric cranial nerve imaging.

“…CPA lesions are overall uncommon, as seen in one retrospective report of 36 CPA lesions out of 819 cases of TN (4.4%) with only one under age 18 (0.12%) [22]. Additional SOL cases include Burkitt lymphoma [29], CPA arachnoid cyst [30], choristoma [31], capillary telangiectasia [9], embryonal rhabdosarcoma [32], ruptured dermoid cyst [33], anterior inferior cerebellar artery loop [34], and pilomyxoid astrocytoma [35]. There have been two reported cases of AVM [36,37].…”
