abstract = {Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI) and chimeric antigen
receptor T‑cell (CAR-T) therapies have fundamentally
transformed oncology. With their increasing use,
immune-related adverse events (irAEs) have gained attention,
including those affecting the nervous system.To describe the
clinical and imaging characteristics of neurological
immune-related adverse events (NirAEs) under ICI and CAR‑T
therapy, as well as their differential diagnostic and
therapeutic implications.Review of current literature on the
incidence, clinical spectrum, and imaging features of
NirAEs.NirAEs occur in approximately $1-6\%$ of patients
treated with ICIs. Common manifestations include myositis,
myasthenic syndromes, peripheral neuropathies, and various
forms of encephalitis, which may differ clinically and
radiologically from their idiopathic or paraneoplastic
counterparts. Under CAR‑T therapy, immune effector
cell-associated neurotoxicity syndrome (ICANS) represents
the most frequent neurotoxic complication and affects about
$30\%$ of patients. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is the
imaging modality of choice but often reveals nonspecific or
initially unremarkable findings. A pretherapeutic baseline
MRI and close imaging follow-up improve diagnostic
interpretation and prognostic assessment. Findings must
always be interpreted within the clinical context and
through interdisciplinary collaboration.NirAEs are rare but
potentially life-threatening. Due to unspecific imaging
findings and overlapping differential diagnoses, close
interdisciplinary cooperation between radiology, neurology,
and oncology is essential. Early recognition and imaging
follow-up are key to improving prognosis and survival.},
