ABSTRACT
Paediatric posterior fossa lesions can have much overlap in their clinical and radiological presentation. There are, however, a number of key imaging features that can help the reading radiologist to distinguish tumours from important tumour mimics which are often inflammatory or metabolic entities. This pictorial review provides a number of important cases that proved challenging on imaging and illustrates some common pitfalls when interpreting lesions in the posterior fossa in children. Not everything that is abnormal will be a tumour, but often other causes are overlooked and misinterpreted as tumours, leading to great morbidity for that child. This article highlights some lesions that were mistaken as tumours and will introduce the reader to less commonly seen pathologies which are important to consider on a differential list for this location.
