The treatment of central nervous system (CNS) tumors constitutes a significant part of a pediatric neurosurgeon's workload. The classification of such neoplasms spans many entities. These include low- and high-grade lesions, with both occurring in the population of patients under 18 years of age. Magnetic resonance imaging serves as the imaging method of choice for neoplastic lesions of the brain. Through its different modalities, such as T1, T2, T1 C+, apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC), diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI), susceptibility-weighted imaging (SWI), fluid-attenuated inversion recovery (FLAIR), etc., it allows the medical team to plan the therapeutic process accordingly while also possibly suggesting the specific tumor subtype prior to obtaining a definitive histological diagnosis. We conducted a retrospective study spanning 32 children treated surgically for brain tumors between July 2021 and January 2023 who had a precise histological diagnosis determined by using the 2021 WHO Classification of Tumors of the Central Nervous System. We divided them into two groups (high-grade and low-grade tumors, i.e., WHO grades 1 and 2, and grades 3 and 4, respectively) and analyzed their demographic data and preoperative MRI results. This was done using the following criteria: sub or supratentorial location of the tumor; lesion is circumscribed or infiltrating; solid, cystic, or mixed solid and cystic character of the tumor; number of compartments in cystic lesions; signal intensity (hypo-, iso-, hyperintensity sequences: T1, T2, T1 C+); presence of restricted diffusion; the largest diameter of the solid component and/or the largest diameter of the largest cyst in the transverse section. Then, we examined the results to find any correlation between the lesions' morphologies and their final assigned degree of malignancy. We found that the only radiological criteria correlating with the final WHO grade of the tumor were an infiltrative pattern of growth (25% of low-grade lesions, 75% of high-grade; p = 0.006) and the presence of a cystic component in the tumor (in 68.75% of low-grade tumors and 43.75% of high-grade tumors; p = 0.041). The only other feature close to attaining statistical significance was diffusion restriction (33.3% of low-grade tumors, 66.7% high-grade; p = 0.055). Older children tended to present with tumors of lower degrees of malignancy, and there was a predominance of female patients (21 female, 11 male).
