Incidental brain tumor findings in children involve the unexpected discovery of brain lesions during imaging for unrelated reasons. These findings differ significantly from those in adults, requiring a focus on pediatric-specific approaches in neurosurgery, neuroimaging, and neuro-oncology. Understanding the prevalence, progression, and management of these incidentalomas is crucial for informed decision-making, balancing patient welfare with the risks and benefits of intervention. Incidental brain tumors are observed in about 0.04-5.7% of cases, with most suspected low-grade lesions in children showing a benign course, though up to 3% may undergo malignant transformation. Treatment decisions are influenced by factors such as patient age, tumor characteristics, and family anxiety, with conservative management through surveillance often preferred. However, upfront surgery may be considered in cases with low surgical risk. Initial follow-up typically involves a comprehensive MRI after three months, with subsequent scans spaced out if the lesion remains stable. Changes in imaging or symptoms during follow-up could indicate malignant transformation, prompting consideration of surgery or biopsy. Several challenges and controversies persist, including the role of upfront biopsy for molecular profiling, the use of advanced imaging techniques like PET-CT and magnetic resonance spectroscopy, and the implications of the child's age at diagnosis. These issues highlight the need for further research to guide management and improve outcomes in pediatric patients with incidental brain tumor findings.
