“…10,29 Intracranial GCTs were thought to demonstrate high nuclear-to-cytoplasmic ratios of tumor cells or high tumor cellularity, showing restricted diffusion on DWI. 30 Routine axial whole-brain DWI may have problems in the evaluation of small suprasellar tumors because of scan gaps or artifacts of the skull base. We suggest sagittal DWI of the sellar region to improve the diagnosis of suprasellar tumors.…”

Younger age, diabetes insipidus, MR imaging characteristics of restricted diffusion, and vertical infundibular extension favor the diagnosis of germ cell tumors. Spheric shape without infundibular infiltration provides clues to papillary craniopharyngiomas, which originate from the pars tuberalis and are located outside the third ventricle. We suggest that suprasellar germ cell tumor is possibly an intraventricular lesion. Appropriate treatment planning can be initiated according to the diagnosis and anatomic location.

Brain tumors in children are the second most common type of pediatric tumors after leukemia and the most common occurring solid tumor. Brain tumors diagnosed during the first year of life have different features than those presenting later in childhood and are usually supratentorial. Magnetic resonance imaging is the modality of choice for the diagnosis and characterization of these tumors. Herewith, we provide a review of the imaging characteristics on conventional and advanced neuroimaging techniques of the most common supratentorial intracranial tumors in children.
