- Abstract
The article presents case studies of melanotic neuroectodermal tomour of infancy (MNTI) in infants aged four months and five weeks. It describes the features of the imaging of MNTI on plain radiographs, computed tomography, and magnetic resonance imaging. Both patients reveal that only 10.8% of MNTI involves the skull, but are typical in terms of the age of the patients, clinical course and histopathological features.
