Abstract

A variety of histologic subtypes of tumor may affect the thalamus and the hypothalamus in the pediatric population. These tumors have radiologic features that are useful in predicting pathology. We discuss the radiologic findings of childhood thalamic and hypothalamic tumors and provide imaging examples.
