Evaluating altered mental status and suspected meningeal disorders in children often begins with imaging, typically before a lumbar puncture. The challenge is that meningeal enhancement is a common finding across a range of pathologies, making diagnosis complex. This review proposes a categorization of meningeal diseases based on their predominant imaging characteristics.

Background: Small round cell tumors (SRCTs) are a group of malignant neoplasms with minimal or no differentiation, characterized by the presence of round cells with high nuclear-cytoplasmic ratio. Although SRCTs can occur in any part of the body, involvement of central nervous system (CNS) is uncommon.
Aim: We aimed to study the clinicopathological spectrum of cranial SRCT diagnosed in our institute over a period of four years (2016-2019).

Background: Rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) is a common pleomorphic malignant soft tissue sarcoma in children and adolescents that originates from rhabdomyoblasts or mesenchymal precursor cells. Alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma (ARMS) mostly occurs in adolescents aged 10-15 years and is characterized by more aggressive behaviors and worse prognosis than other sarcomas, prone to lymphatic and hematogenous metastasis in the early stage as well as metastasizing to breast, testis, pancreas, and other parts. ARMS often occurs in the limbs and genitourinary system, however, head and neck ARMS are relatively rare when involving the nasal cavity or sinuses.

Background: Rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) is the most frequent soft sarcoma in children and adolescents. Alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma (ARMS) is a relatively rare subtype that is characterized by aggressive behavior and an unsatisfactory prognosis. An ARMS can arise anywhere but most commonly occurs at extremity sites with a very small fraction in the retroperitoneum.
