摘要: Pediatric Atypical teratoid/rhabdoid tumors (AT/RT) of the central nervous system (CNS) are among most malignant neoplasms and often diagnosed in children smaller than 3 years age incidence is 1–2% all brain children. Sixty-three percent AT/RT CNS seen infra-tentorial compartment, there no precise imaging features that differentiate from other posterior fossa tumor. The “rhabdoid” cells characteristic on cytopathology. It has been established now CNS, shows deletion long arm chromosome 22q11.2. initial treatment for with surgical without cerebrospinal fluid diversionary procedure. Children less offered chemotherapy but older radiotherapy given addition.
