Summary: | Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) demonstrated a 42 mm × 37 mm × 36 mm enhanced and lobulated lesion with a large cystic component at the bottom located in the sellar region with a clear boundary with surrounding tissues (Figure 1A, B). Some can remain stable for a long time but some grow or spread rapidly, and several even shrink or disappear naturally. 1–3 Optic pathway gliomas also lead to various endocrine changes, including DS. 4 Diencephalic syndrome can lead to difficulty in gain weight in pediatric patients, usually secondary to neoplastic lesions nearby hypothalamus, was closely related to the OPGs. 5 Some studies have shown that OPG patients with DS have a poor prognosis. [...]some studies had shown tissue regression of astrocytoma located in several positions. 10 Some believed reduced proliferation could be secondary to enhanced immunocompetence and immune recognition of tumors. 9 Treatment for OPG patients with DS is still controversial. |
