Abstract
We compared magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and CT on 16 children with brainstem gliomas. MRI demonstrated masses of decreased signal intensity, which enlarged and distorted brainstems in all patients with active disease and showed brainstem abnormalities in 21 of 23 studies (91%). In one-half of the patients, MRI showed more extensive disease than did CT. Exophytic portions of tumors were shown well on MRI. MRI was more sensitive than CT in demonstrating disease relapse.Entities:
