Direct Involvement of Cranial Nerve V at Diagnosis in Patients With Diffuse Intrinsic Pontine Glioma: A Potential Magnetic Resonance Predictor of Short-Term Survival

Direct Involvement of Cranial Nerve V at Diagnosis in Patients With Diffuse Intrinsic Pontine Glioma: A Potential Magnetic Resonance Predictor of Short-Term Survival

Background: Diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma (DIPG) has a dismal prognosis. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) remains the gold standard for non-invasive DIPG diagnosis. MRI features have been tested as surrogate biomarkers. We investigated the direct involvement of cranial nerve V (CN V) in DIPG at d...
