Abstract
Objective

To describe the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings for the most common inflammatory and immune-mediated diseases that involve the brainstem.

Conclusion

Inflammatory lesions involving the brainstem are associated with a wide range of autoimmune, infectious, and paraneoplastic syndromes, making the differential diagnosis complex. Being familiar with these entities, their clinical characteristics, and their manifestations on MRI, especially the number of lesions, their shape and extension, and their appearance in different sequences, is useful for orienting the radiological diagnosis.

Resumen
Objetivo

Describir los hallazgos en Resonancia Magnética (RM) de las principales enfermedades inflamatorias e inmunomediadas que afectan al troncoencéfalo.

Conclusión

El diagnóstico diferencial de las lesiones inflamatorias localizadas en el troncoencéfalo es complicado debido al amplio espectro de enfermedades autoinmunes, infecciosas y síndromes paraneoplásicos que pueden causarlas. Conocer estas entidades, sus características clínicas y manifestaciones en RM, sobre todo en cuanto a número, morfología, extensión y apariencia en las diferentes secuencias, es útil a la hora de orientar el diagnóstico radiológico.
