TI  - A Rare Tumor in Childhood Desmoplastic Infantile Astrocytoma: Two Case Reports.

AB  - Desmoplastic infantile astrocytomas (DIAs), are rare supratentorial tumors, 
      usually observed in the first 24 months of life. Despite their aggressive 
      appearance, they tend to follow a favorable clinical course. Total or near total 
      resection of tumor is usually the treatment option. Desmoplastic Infantile 
      Ganglioglioma (DIG) and DIA are WHO grade I tumors that have similar clinical and 
      morphological findings. The only criterion in differential diagnosis is the 
      neural component of DIG. These tumors both have dense fibroblastic stroma and 
      positive staining with glial fibrillar acidic protein (GFAP) and CD34. A rare 
      case of desmoplastic infantile astrocytoma presenting with right side partial 
      seizures presented in a 1-year-old child. A rare case of desmoplastic infantile 
      astrocytoma presenting with focal onset generalized seizures presented in a 
      1-year-old child. Despite their radiological and histological properties, these 
      tumors have a benign course. After 3-year follow-up for the first case and 1-year 
      follow-up for the second case, there was no recurrence.
