Abstract

Background & Method: This prospective study was done in the Department of Radio diagnosis of Index Medical College Hospital & Research Centre, Indore (M.P.) Madhya Pradesh, India. A total of 82 patients presenting with signs, symptoms or radiologically suspicious findings of ICSOLS in pediatric outpatient and inpatient department

Result: Most lesions (74%) did not restrict on DWI, No overlap of ADC values was seen in Grade I & other tumours while maximum overlap was seen among higher grades & MRI is 100% accurate for grading benign tumors.

Conclusion: It is recommended that in all patients with ICSOLs, MRI should be combined with DWI, contrast and MRS which play a crucial role in the diagnostic evaluation of patients. It can categorize the various etiologies of SOLs and highlight the main differential diagnoses for each SOL thus helping in early diagnosis and management and reducing the morbidity and mortality.
