“…Complete excision of the lesion is typically curative, and tumor reintervention can control remaining development [13]. If an anaplastic component is discovered, adjuvant chemotherapy and radiation are required [14]. The therapy of DWM, in contrast, varies depending on the accompanying symptoms and is generally determined by the installation of ventriculoperitoneal shunts [15].…”

Dandy-Walker Malformation (DWM) and Pilocytic Astrocitoma are both rare disease entities that typically manifest early in life are associated with congenital etiological factors. DWM is a cerebellar malformation associated with a series of anatomical changes.The disease onset is usually at bith or during infancy. Late onset in adulthood is uncommon., Pilocytic astrocytoma is a tumor that arises from glial cells, primarily astrocytes, and is classified as grade I by the WHO. It is typically diagnosed in children and is frequently found in the posterior fossa. Concomitant occurrence of DWM and Pilocytic Astrocytoma there are very few reported cases.

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

BackgroundPilocytic astrocytoma can be challenging to diagnose.MethodsIts clinical presentations can differ, directly related to its size and location, and are relatively unreliable. Similarly, imaging findings also vary with the location of the pilocytic astrocytoma.ResultsThis review provides an overview of the different imaging findings regarding pilocytic astrocytomas using both conventional and advanced magnetic resonance imaging sequences according to tumour location; the findings are strongly related to the tumour’s tendency to infiltrate surrounding structures, being able to carry out gross total resection, and finally the prognosis.ConclusionsKnowledge of these imaging manifestations of pilocytic astrocytoma may be helpful to arrive at an accurate diagnosis.Teaching PointsTo recognise the various imaging findings of pilocytic astrocytoma on both conventional and advanced magnetic resonance imaging sequences.To identify the characteristic imaging findings according to tumour location.To discuss the relevant differential diagnoses of pilocytic astrocytoma in each tumour location.
