Introduction: Accurate preoperative differentiation between intracranial solitary fibrous tumor (SFT, World Health Organization grade II) and angiomatous meningioma (AM) is crucial for surgical planning and prognosis prediction. While conventional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is widely used, distinguishing these tumors based on imaging alone remains challenging. This study aimed to evaluate clinical and MRI features to improve diagnostic accuracy between SFT and AM, focusing on the apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) and conventional MRI parameters.

Occurrence in the paravertebral region is comparatively rare and it requires differentiation from neurogenic tumours by imaging. In our patient, preoperative imaging findings were atypical of schwannoma.

Neurological and neurodevelopmental conditions are a major public health concern for which new therapies are urgently needed. The development of effective therapies relies on the precise mapping of the neural substrates causally involved in behaviour generation. Direct electrical stimulation (DES) performed during cognitive and neurological monitoring in awake surgery is currently considered the gold standard for the causal mapping of brain functions.

Clinical/methodological Issue: Diagnosis and therapy of renal tumors in children and adolescents are standardized by study protocols from major international societies. Imaging plays a central role, and in Europe patients between the ages of 6 months and 14 years with renal tumors are referred to neoadjuvant chemotherapy without histological confirmation according to the study protocol due to the frequency of Wilms tumor.
Standard Radiologic Methods: Ultrasound is used worldwide as the primary investigative procedure for suspected renal tumors.
