Résumé

Infant-type hemispheric gliomas belong to pediatric-type diffuse high-grade gliomas according to the 2021 WHO classification of central nervous system tumors. They are characterized by tyrosine kinase gene rearrangements (NTRK1/2/3, ALK, ROS1, MET). The aim of the study was to describe the clinical, histopathologic, and molecular characteristics of such tumors, and to provide a review of the literature.This retrospective series comprises four cases of infant-type hemispheric glioma diagnosed at Angers University Hospital between 2020 and 2022. The diagnosis was suspected based on morphology and immunohistochemistry and was confirmed by molecular biology techniques.The most common clinical sign was raised intracranial pressure. Imaging showed a large cerebral hemispheric tumor with contrast enhancement. Microscopic examination revealed diffuse astrocytoma with high-grade features, sometimes with neuronal or pseudo-ependymal differentiation. Identification of a gene fusion involving a tyrosine kinase gene allowed to make a definitive diagnosis of infant-type hemispheric glioma.Infant-type hemispheric gliomas are rare and present as large cerebral hemispheric tumors in very young children. Searching for a tyrosine kinase gene fusion should be systematic when dealing with a high-grade glioma in an infant. Importantly, these gene fusions are therapeutic targets. The impact of targeted therapies on patient survival should be evaluated in future prospective studies.
