Most disorders affecting the pediatric brain are discovered because of functional deficits. Until recently most functional deficits were approached by anatomical imaging techniques rather than by functional techniques. This is even more striking taking into accounts that treatment options should preferably restore or optimize brain function rather than brain anatomy. Frequently the anatomical lesions are only the tip of the iceberg. Early, sensitive and specific identification of pathology is even more important in the pediatric population because functional brain plasticity is more outspoken in children compare…
