“…The mass is intermediate to slightly hyperintense on T1-weighted images and hyperintense on T2-weighted images in comparison with muscle. 70,76 Mild enhancement is seen on postcontrast images. Calcifications within the lesion may be demonstrated on CT in up to 50% of cases.…”

“…These criteria influenced the surgical resectability of the tumor. 72 On MRI, neuroblastoma generally appears as a circumscribed mass in the poststyloid parapharyngeal space (carotid space), 70 although some investigators have described the mass as arising from the retropharyngeal space laterally. 76,77 The internal carotid artery and internal jugular vein are displaced anteriorly.…”

Thoracoabdominal tumors in childhood can arise from all organs and affect children from the neonate to the adolescent. Better prognosis of childhood tumors, due to better biological understanding and improvement of chemotherapy, require sufficient radiological staging. Sufficiency in radiological staging needs modern cross-sectional techniques with high resolution, good availability and lower radiation dose. In general computed tomography (CT) is being used for radiological staging; increasingly MR imaging is being used because of multiplanar imaging techniques. Replacement of invasive techniques such as myelography and lymphography and modern cross-sectional techniques create painless staging conditions. Nevertheless, scintigraphy will always be a major examination technique, especially for evaluation of metastases and postoperative control examinations. The most common thoracoabdominal tumors in childhood and their staging are described.

show abstract

“…Cervical origins for this type of tumor are relatively uncommon (5 %) compared with other reported sites: abdomen (65 %), thorax (15 %), and pelvis (5 %) [1]. The imaging of primary cervical neuroblastoma has nevertheless been well studied [1][2][3].Intracranial extension of a cervical neuroblastoma via the jugular foramen or carotid canal with potential involvement of cranial nerves IX, XI, or XII has been noted [1], but instances are few, and to our knowledge only one neuroblastoma (a recurrence following primary excision and chemotherapy) has been formally demonstrated to extend through the jugular foramen [4]. Our case also shows that the foramen lacerum may provide intracranial access for extra-axial neuroblastoma, as has been documented with other histologic tumor types [5].…”
