Article Synopsis
- Pediatric posterior fossa tumors have complex diagnostic challenges due to their diverse features; this study evaluates the effectiveness of diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) and apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) measurements to aid in tumor classification.* -
- The study analyzed 59 patients under 18 with diagnosed posterior fossa tumors, measuring ADC values and ratios from tumor and normal brain tissues, finding significant differences in ADC values between various tumor types (pilocytic astrocytomas, ependymomas, and medulloblastomas).* -
- Results indicate that ADC metrics can effectively differentiate these tumors, though the study suggests that future research should involve larger patient groups and advanced imaging methods to enhance diagnostic accuracy.*
Purpose: Medulloblastoma is one of the brain tumors with increased life expectancy due to improvements in treatment approaches. Besides the promising results, various undesirable effects can be encountered. This study's aim is to review long-term follow-up outcomes of our cases with medulloblastoma.
