MR findings of desmoplastic cerebral astrocytoma of infancy: A case report

The usage of medical resonance imaging (MRI) technique in studying the desmoplastic cerebral astrocytoma of infancy (DCAI) was analyzed. The DCAI observations presented a supratentorial mass consisting of a central cystic component and an enhancing solid component with peripheral dural attachment. The MRI-based DCAI findings described prominent dystrophic calcifications without a peripheral dural component. The dystrophic calcifications in the enhancing solid component and the absence of dural attachment were the prominent features of the tumor.
