U-MRI brain was suboptimal for 80% of patients. Three-dimensional millimetric, fluid-attenuated inversion recovery, and diffusion would constitute helpful sequences in follow-up. Further specific studies depending on each tumor type are still required to determine whether a potential abstention of gadolinium intravenous injection should be discussed for children.
