Unusual radiological characteristics of teratoid/rhabdoid brain tumor in children.
Keywords:
atypical teratoid, rhabdoid tumor, brain tumor, children,, medulloblastoma
Abstract
We report a case of atypical teratoid rhabdoid brain tumor for 4 months old male child, who presented with unusual radiological findings, that can be confused with other brain tumors ,so we high light these unusual imaging features to aid in making correct diagnosis.
