This nine year old was investigated for 3 months history of defective vision and progressive headache and vomiting. She has primary optic atrophy in right eye [no PL]. She underwent a right ventriculoperitoneal shunt procedure in emergency setting for raised intracranial tension. She does well in school and has intact higher intellectual functions.
The preoperative scans are in the video. Pause the video to make your preoperative diagnoses. What might be the two most likely diagnoses?
Un-pause to see the post operative scans and suggest the next steps. What do you think are the treatment choices?
1)Imaging follow up, and if there is progression consider radiotherapy/Re-excision (which one?)
2)Radiotherapy now and re-excision if progression
3)Chemotherapy?
4)Re-excision now
For those of who with limited bandwidth, get a better connection to see the video! [just kidding... please see the attached jpegs: preop and post op]

Along with bi frontal you should have done orbital or Fronto-orbital ethmoidal osteotomy. That would have given you wider angle and tackle the tumor right in front of brainstem.
Go ahead and remove the residual
