abstract = {The occurrence of medulloblastomas in adults is rare;
nevertheless, these tumors can be subdivided into genetic
and histologic entities each having distinct prognoses. This
study aimed to identify MR imaging biomarkers to classify
these entities and to uncover differences in MR imaging
biomarkers identified in pediatric medulloblastomas.Eligible
preoperative MRIs from 28 patients (11 women; 22-53 years of
age) of the Multicenter Pilot-study for the Therapy of
Medulloblastoma of Adults (NOA-7) cohort were assessed by 3
experienced neuroradiologists. Lesions and perifocal edema
were volumetrized and multiparametrically evaluated for
classic morphologic characteristics, location,
hydrocephalus, and Chang criteria. To identify MR imaging
biomarkers, we correlated genetic entities sonic hedgehog
(SHH) TP53 wild type, wingless (WNT), and non-WNT/non-SHH
medulloblastomas (in adults, Group 4), and histologic
entities were correlated with the imaging criteria. These MR
imaging biomarkers were compared with corresponding data
from a pediatric study.There were 19 SHH TP53 wild type
$(69\%),$ 4 WNT-activated $(14\%),$ and 5 Group 4 $(17\%)$
medulloblastomas. Six potential MR imaging biomarkers were
identified, 3 of which, hydrocephalus (P = .03),
intraventricular macrometastases (P = .02), and hemorrhage
(P = .04), when combined, could identify WNT medulloblastoma
with $100\%$ sensitivity and $88.3\%$ specificity $(95\%$
CI, $39.8\%-100.0\%$ and $62.6\%-95.3\%).$ WNT-activated
nuclear β-catenin accumulating medulloblastomas were
smaller than the other entities $(95\%$ CI, 5.2-22.3 cm(3)
versus 35.1-47.6 cm(3); P = .03). Hemorrhage was exclusively
present in non-WNT/non-SHH medulloblastomas (P = .04; n =
2/5). MR imaging biomarkers were all discordant from those
identified in the pediatric cohort. Desmoplastic/nodular
medulloblastomas were more rarely in contact with the fourth
ventricle (4/15 versus 7/13; P = .04).MR imaging biomarkers
can help distinguish histologic and genetic medulloblastoma
entities in adults and appear to be different from those
identified in children.},
