Desmoplastic infantile astrocytoma in a 47-day old male infant with four-year follow-up : a rare case report and literature review

الملخص EN

Desmoplastic infantile astrocytoma/ganglioglioma (DIA/DIG) is a rare mixed neuronal-glial solid cystic brain tumor found in infantile cerebral hemispheres.

The main presentation of the tumor is the rapidly enlarging of the head circumference with hydrocephalus and seizure.

DIA is classified as a WHO Grade 1 brain tumor but, due to the rarity of the tumor, few studies are available on tumor survival and prognosis.

Herein, we report a 47-day-old male infant diagnosed with DIA and the four-year follow-up.
