Diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma (DIPG): sagittal (left) and axial (middle) T2-weighted, and axial (right) T1-contrast-enhanced MRI of a 3.5-year-old girl presenting with new-onset cranial neuropathy, motor decline, and headaches. MRI shows a diffuse pontine tumor, with engulfment of the basilar artery, and very mild linear contrast enhancement. A shunt was placed to treat the hydrocephalus. Based on the MRI features, a DIPG was suspected and treated accordingly
