Abstract
Tectal gliomas are a distinct form of pediatric brainstem tumor usually present with increased intracranial pressure. The tumor may arise from different origins and the most common histologic form is low-grade astrocytoma. We would like to remind and emphasize why it is important to report a tectal glioma in magnetic resonance imaging reports giving two case samples.

Hidrosefalinin Nadir bir Sebebi; Tektal Glioma ÖZET Tektal gliomlar pediatrik beyin sapı tümörlerinin ayrı bir grubu olup genellikle kafaiçi basıncı artışı ile ortaya çıkarlar. Tectal gliomas are a distinct form of pediatric brainstem tumor usually present with increased intracranial pressure. We would like to remind and emphasize why it is important to report a tectal glioma in Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) reports with this letter giving two case samples.
