Summary
Diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma (DIPG) is a rare pediatric brain tumor. This case report highlights successful tumor regression and good clinical outcome in a young patient treated with intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT).
Area of Science:
- Pediatric Oncology
- Neuro-oncology
- Radiation Oncology
Background:
- Diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma (DIPG) accounts for 10-20% of pediatric central nervous system tumors.
- Classic symptoms include cranial nerve deficits, long tract signs, and ataxia.
- Radiotherapy is the standard of care, often with limited response.
