Abstract Objective: To evaluate the imaging characteristics of intracranial atypical teratoid/rhabdoid tumor(AT/RT), and to improve the diagnostic ability of the disease. Materials and Methods: The clinical and MRI(n=6) imaging findings of 6 patients with AT/RT diagnosed by pathology and immunohistochemistry were analyzed retrospectively. There were 5 male and 1 female, aged 1 year to 7 years, median age was 1.25 years. MR enhancement studies were obtained in all the cases. Results: Among 6 patients with AT/RT, 4 were located below the tentorium, 1 was located supratentorial, and 1 was multiple lesions both supratentorial and subtentorial. The tumors’ size varied from 2.0 cm to 4.6 cm. Cystic change was seen in 5 cases and hemorrhage in 4 cases. All lesions showed moderate to severe enhancement. Diffused-weighted imaging demonstrated inhomogeneous signal and ADC showed low signal. Cerebrospinal fluid dissemination occurred in 1 case, and brain metastasis occurred in 1 case. Conclusion: There are some relatively specific imaging findings of primary intracranial AT/RT that could assist their diagnosis.
