Male, 8 years old, status post DNET tumor resection, three-month follow-up exam. Redemonstrated is evidence of right temporal tumor resection. The previously seen acute postoperative changes have resolved. The resection cavity is slightly smaller and contains fluid which has cleared becoming identical to CSF. Thin nonspecific T2 hyperintensity along the cavity margins is seen. No evidence of significant parenchymal edema or mass effect is detected. No pathologic enhancement is identified in the vicinity of the resection or elsewhere. No acute intracranial hemorrhage is seen. There is mild hemosiderin staining of the resection cavity, and linear tracts of susceptibility related to prior depth electrode placement.
Expected evolution of postoperative findings compatible with tumor resection from the right temporal lobe. No new or growing lesions are seen.
