1. To review the MRI findings of infratentorial pediatric primay brain tumor
2. To explain the utility of advanced MRI (diffusion-weighted imaging and suscepitibility-weighted imaging) in diagnosis
3. To explain the diagnostic flow chart of posterior fossa tumor
Overview of pediatric brain tumor
- age distribution
- tumor locations
Review the MRI findings of the following posterior fossa tumors.
- Medulloblastoma
- Atypical teratoid/rhabdoid tumor
- Ependymoma
- Pilocytic astroctyoma
- Brain stem glioma
Explain the utility of the advanced MRI (DWI and SWI) in diagnosis
