Abstract

Extrapulmonary tuberculosis in children tends to be more severe than the adults. It can affect almost any organ system of the body. The clinical manifestations are often non-specific. Imaging findings are also not always very specific. This article describes the imaging spectrum of pediatric extrapulmonary tuberculosis.
