Abstract
Summary. In this review magnetic resonance tomography (MRI) is presented as the tool for differential diagnostic in the brainstem damage in children. It is shown that the isolated or connected with supratentorial changes brainstems lesion occurs within a wide range of pathological conditions. Small size, less clear distinction between gray and white matter and the limit of visualization infratentorial structures with multiparametric MRI often lead to difficulties in the differential diagnosis. Sometimes the most important in the diagnostic is the topography of lesions and their signal intensity. Clinical data, the results of epidemiological and laboratory studies are primary importance for differential diagnosis of brainstem damages.
