Clinics in diagnostic imaging (81). Hypothalamic glioma with diencephalic syndrome

A 15-month-old boy presented with failure to thrive. Physical examination revealed third degree malnutrition. MR imaging showed a large lobulated mass in the suprasellar region. The mass was hypointense on T1-weighted MR images, hyperintense on proton density-weighted and T2-weighted MR images, and...
