Hyperacute Infarct on intra-operative diffusion imaging of pediatric brain tumor surgery.

CONCLUSIONS: Hyperacute infarcts are not rare events to complicate pediatric brain tumor resection. Tumoral encasement of the circle of Willis vessels appears to be the main risk factor. Intraoperative DWI underestimates the final extent of infarcted tissue compared to early post-surgical MRI. PMID: 31179961 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
