TI  - CT and MRI aspects of supratentorial hemispheric tumors of childhood and 
      adolescence.

AB  - The neuroradiological features of supratentorial hemispheric tumors (SHTs) were 
      studied in 27 patients whose ages ranged from 11 months to 18 years. Astrocytomas 
      constituted 10 of the 27 SHTs. On computed tomography low-grade astrocytomas were 
      in most cases hypodense; after intravenous administration of contrast medium, 
      pilocytic astrocytomas enhanced, whereas fibrillary astrocytomas did not. 
      Gd-DPTA-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging was the most useful technique for the 
      assessment of recurrences. Atypical imaging features were observed in one 
      glioblastoma and in oligodendrogliomas (in half of the cases no calcifications 
      were found). Gangliogliomas were surprisingly rather frequent in our series 
      (5/27) and appeared in three cases as low-density, well-circumscribed lesions, 
      not calcified and without edema and mass effect, while in two cases they had 
      pronounced perifocal edema without clear demarcation. A rare desmoplastic 
      infantile ganglioglioma was observed. The two meningiomas showed malignant 
      behavior.
