Pediatric Basal Ganglia Region Tumors: Clinical and Radiologic Features Correlated with Histopathologic Findings

Astrocytoma and GCT are the most common PBGRTs. Low-grade astrocytomas could benefit from maximal surgical resection, whereas GCTs merit neoadjuvant chemoradiation therapy followed by second-look surgery. We advocate routine testing of tumor markers and analysis of their clinical and radiologic features to optimize the therapeutic strategy.
