High-grade diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma in a 16-year-old female. Sagittal (A), coronal (B), and axial (C) slices in T2-weighted magnetic resonance imaging showing a diffuse intrinsic brainstem hyperintense lesion (white arrows). (D) Magnetic resonance spectroscopy showing elevated choline and creatine peaks with a decreased n-acetylaspartate (NAA) peak.
