Abstract
- The CT findings of 19 children under 16 years of age with primary brain tumors in the cerebral hemisphere were investigated with special reference to the existence of cerebral hemiatrophy ipsilateral to the side of the tumor. "Ipsilateral cerebral hemiatrophy" was observed in four of 19 cases (21%). These included two cases with germinoma in the basal ganglia and two with low-grade astrocytoma in the frontal and occipital cortex. This peculiar CT finding was not specific to the location or histology of the tumor. The four cases were characterized by slow progression, which contrasted with the rapid progression of tumors shown in seven cases with a mass effect on CT.
