DOI: 10.1007/s00247-018-4154-4
Abstract: BackgroundPediatric optic pathway gliomas are typically indolent but have a variable clinical course. Treatment is dictated by symptoms and changes on contrast-enhanced MRI examinations. Gadolinium retention in children has motivated parsimonious use of gadolinium-based contrast… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/diagnostics12030664
Abstract: Diencephalic syndrome (DS) is a rare pediatric condition associated with optic pathway gliomas (OPGs). Since they are slow-growing tumors, their diagnosis might be delayed, with consequences on long-term outcomes. We present a multicenter case series… read more here.
