Martínez León Fig. 9 Fig. 10 Fig. 11 Fig. 12 Tumoral and Non-tumoral Neurology 31 A 27-month-old boy presents with a single epileptic seizure episode. On physical examination, the infant had a protruding forehead on the left side. Desmoplastic Infantile Ganglioglioma (DIG) is a rare, benign intracranial neoplasm of early childhood with involvement of the superficial cerebral cortex and leptomeninges. They are usually large, predominantly cystic tumors located in the frontal or parietal lobes.
22 Fig. 21 Fig. 23 Fig. 24 Tumoral Neurology 13 Choroid plexus tumors are infrequent intraventricular neoplasms that arise from the epithelium of the choroid plexus. These can be classified as papillomas or carcinomas, papillomas being much more common. While papillomas have been documented in adults, carcinomas are almost exclusively seen in children less than 2 years of age. The vast majority arise in the atrium of the lateral ventricles and those found in the fourth ventricle are more common in adults.
These individuals often present at an earlier age than those with unilateral or sporadic retinoblastoma, have a higher likelihood of hereditary retinoblastoma, may develop additional tumors in the pineal, suprasellar, or fourth ventricular regions, and have a poor prognosis. Imaging studies triangle usually starts with US. On CT scan revealing a high-density mass with calcifications arising from the retina, although margins may vary from well delineated to very unclear. Calcification within these tumors is considered a primary factor in the radiological diagnosis of RB.
