Spectrum of intracranial incidental findings on pediatric brain magnetic resonance imaging: What clinician should know?

Table 7 Summarizes the neurosurgical intervention and their outcome in children with incidentally discovered serious lesions

Ref.	Incidentally found serious findings	No. ofpatients	Surgical procedure performed	Outcome
Schwedt et al[8]	Chiari type I malformation	3	Surgical decompression	Headache relieved in 2 patients after surgery
Jordan et al[21]	Chiari I malformation with spinal cord syrinx	2	Surgical decompression	Neurologic stable
Perret et al[20]	Pilocystic astrocytoma	2	Primary subtotal resection	Stable disease
	Craniopharyngioma	1	Primary total resection	Complete remission
	Anaplastic ependymoma	1	Primary total resection, radio-chemotherapy	Complete remission
	Choroid plexus papilloma	1	Primary total resection	Complete remission
	Medulloblastoma	1	Delayed subtotal resection, radio-chemotherapy	Neurologic stable
	Fibrillary astrocytoma	1	Delayed total resection	Complete remission
	Mature teratoma	1	Delayed subtotal resection	Neurologic stable
	Desmoplastic ganglioglioma	1	Primary total resection	Complete remission
Mogensen et al[19]	Pilocytic astrocytoma	1	Hypophysectomy	Patients developed pan hypopituitarism after surgery
Yilmaz et al[5]	Medulloblastoma	1	Urgent surgery for space occupying lesion	Headache relieved after surgery

Incidental findings; Chiari I malformation studied by Seki et al[12], 2010 and temporal arachnoid cyst with mass effect and cerebellar venous malformation studied by Gupta et al[13], 2008 all three were referred to neurosurgery, but no information regarding outcomes were available.
