| | Age: | 16 Years | |
| | Gender: | Female | |
| | Region-Organ: | Head-Brain and brain nerves | |
| | Most likely etiology: | neoplastic | |
| | History: | 16 year-old patient with headaches. The ophthamologist found a papilledema. | |
| | Pathomorphology or Pathophysiology of this disease : | Low-grade glioma with a good prognosis. The symptoms resulted only from a occlusion hydrocephalus. A progression of the tumor is not awaited. | |
| | Radiological findings: |
 <- view MRI 1
MRI 1: T2-weighted image, sagittal: Somewhat hyperintense, round mass in the Lamina tecti with aqueduct closure and consecutive hydrocephalus (Drainage has already been performed).
 <- view MRI 2
MRI 2: T2-weighted image, transversal: Somewhat hyperintense, round mass in the Lamina tecti with aqueduct closure and consecutive hydrocephalus (Drainage has already been performed).
 <- view MRI 3
MRI 3: T1-weighted image, sagittal before contrast: Isointense mass (compared to the cerebral parenchyma) in the lamina tecti. (Probably the superior colliculi)
 <- view MRI 4
MRI 4: T1-weighted image, transversal before contrast: Isointense mass (compared to the cerebral parenchyma) in the lamina tecti. (Probably the superior colliculi)
 <- view MRI 5
MRI 5: T1-weighted image, sagittal after contrast: No contrast uptake of the tumor.
 <- view MRI 6
MRI 6: T2-FLAIR-weighted image, sagittal : Hyperintense mass in the lamina tecti

| | Diagnosis confirmation: | Imaging including endoscopy | |
| | Which DD would be also possible with the radiological findings: | Glioma of the pineal gland. | |
| | Course / Prognosis / Frequency / Other : | Benign, no progression is awaited. | |
