Common Pediatric Brain Tumors: Core Statistics and Imaging Features
1Department of Radiology, Division of Diagnostic and Interventional Neuroradiology, University of Kentucky Medical Center, University of Kentucky, Lexington, KY.
Abstract:
This pictorial review describes the essential statistics and distribution of common brain tumors in the pediatric population. Important neuroimaging findings are reviewed in selected cases, highlighting differential diagnostic considerations. Our goal is that after completing this article, our reader can have an improved understanding of the frequent types of neoplastic processes that involve the brain in children and can narrow their differential diagnosis according to a key constellation of imaging findings.
