The use of Gadolinium-DTPA as a paramagnetic contrast agent in MRI with adults and juveniles concerning brain and spinal cord pathology is well proven since years. Tolerance and safety were excellent. In the FRG it is only introduced for children over two years of age. Therefore this report deals with the experience in four infants and small children under the age of two, who received gadolinium-DTPA for diagnostic purposes in pre- or post-operative circumstances. They all were suffering from neurological tumors and got additional diagnostic information in three cases. Clinical side-effects like urticaria, vomiting or convulsions had not been observed nor had pathologic changes of the biochemical parameters been noticed.
