Seven-week old male infant with new onset seizures characterized by eye twitching and pathology proven DIG.

A) Findings: There is a solid and cystic mass involving the right temporal lobe, expanding the middle cranial fossa. Note the solid component is medial but demonstrates a broad base of attachment with the tentorial incisura (arrow). The solid component measures 3.4 cm in the craniocaudal dimension and demonstrates T2 iso to hyperintensity with mass effect on the overlying thalamus.

Technique: Coronal short TI inversion recovery (1.5T, TR=5000, TE=96)

B) Findings: There is intense homogeneous enhancement of the solid component, which protrudes into the suprasellar cistern (arrow).

Technique: Axial T1 turbo spin echo post contrast (1.5T, TR=450, TE=14, contrast=Prohance 0.1mmol/kg, delayed phase)

C) Findings: There is relative isointensity of the solid tumoral component on ADC map (arrow) compared to the adjacent brain parenchyma.

Technique: Axial ADC map image (1.5T, TR=7199, TE=97)
