Abstract

We present a 1-year-old boy with histologically proven multifocal rhabdoid tumour of the brain with meningeal and spinal metastasis. Although very rare and without specific radiological features, the possibility of rhabdoid tumour should be kept in mind when imaging paediatric intracranial and spinal neoplasms.
