Imaging of supratentorial intraventricular masses in children: a pictorial review-part 2.
Neuroradiology 2023 December 13
PURPOSE: This article is the second in a two-part series aimed at exploring the spectrum of supratentorial intraventricular masses in children. In particular, this part delves into masses originating from cells of the ventricular lining, those within the septum pellucidum, and brain parenchyma cells extending into the ventricles. The aim of this series is to offer a comprehensive understanding of these supratentorial intraventricular masses, encompassing their primary clinical findings and histological definitions.
METHODS: We conducted a review and analysis of relevant epidemiological data, the current genetics/molecular classifications as per the fifth edition of the World Health Organization (WHO) Classification of Tumors of the Central Nervous System (WHO CNS5), and imaging findings. Each supratentorial intraventricular mass was individually evaluated, with a detailed discussion on its clinical and histological features.
RESULTS: This article covers a range of supratentorial intraventricular masses observed in children. These include colloid cysts, subependymal giant cell astrocytomas, ependymomas, gangliogliomas, myxoid glioneuronal tumors, central neurocytomas, high-grade gliomas, pilocytic astrocytomas, cavernous malformations, and other embryonal tumors. Each mass type is characterized both clinically and histologically, offering an in-depth review of their individual imaging characteristics.
CONCLUSION: The WHO CNS5 introduces notable changes, emphasizing the vital importance of molecular diagnostics in classifying pediatric central nervous system tumors. These foundational shifts have significant potential to impact management strategies and, as a result, the outcomes of intraventricular masses in children.
