CONTEXT: Glial Tumors Represent a Significant Proportion of Pediatric Brain Tumors, Among Which Diffuse Gliomas Occupy a Particular Place Due To Their Infiltrative Nature and Their Sometimes-Insidious Evolution. Their Diagnosis Relies Mainly on Imaging, But Their Radiological Manifestations May Be Misleading, Constituting A Real Challenge for the Radiologist.
CASE PRESENTATION: Patient Aged 08 Years, Without Notable Pathological History, Admitted to the Pediatric Emergency Department for the Management of an Afebrile Status Epilepticus. The Patient Underwent an Emergency Brain CT Scan Revealing Multiple Intra- and Extra-Axial Nodular Lesions in Supra- and Infratentorial Locations, Followed by A Brain MRI and A Stereotactic Biopsy That Confirmed the Diagnosis of a Diffuse Midline Cerebral Glioma.
CONCLUSION: Diffuse Cerebral Glioma in Children May Present with Non-Specific Radiological Features, Making the Diagnosis Complex. Knowledge Of Its Imaging Spectrum Is Essential to Improve Diagnostic Accuracy and Optimize Management.
