Abstract
AbstractOvergrowth syndromes can manifest with enlargement of the brain and other body parts and are associated with malignancy. Much of the current literature focuses on the imaging findings of the somatic overgrowth, while there is relatively little describing the overgrowth of the central nervous system. In this pictorial essay, we discuss common syndromes with central nervous system overgrowth, highlight key imaging features, and review the underlying genetics, including the PI3K-AKT-mTOR pathway as well as other syndromes from various genes.
