Brain tumors in children are the second most common type of pediatric tumors after
leukemia and the most common occurring solid tumor. Brain tumors diagnosed during
the first year of life have different features than those presenting later in childhood
and are usually supratentorial. Magnetic resonance imaging is the modality of choice
for the diagnosis and characterization of these tumors. Herewith, we provide a review
of the imaging characteristics on conventional and advanced neuroimaging techniques
of the most common supratentorial intracranial tumors in children.
