    2 yo M presenting with L weakness, peripheral vision deterioration and head tilt  found to have a ~6x6 cm suprasellar mass by MRI brain c/w optic pathway glioma w/o signs of NF1. Biopsy preliminary findings:  low-grade astrocytoma with piloid features.

    Final diagnosis: CNS WHO Grade 1, angiocentric glioma. 

    Methylation Superfamily: low grade glial/glioneuronal tumor (0.988),

    Methylation Class: Diffuse astrocytoma, MYB/MYBL1-altered, subtype B (0.655)

    Unmethylated.

    Glioseq: no genomic alterations.

    Discuss Treatment recommendations: 

    Prefer tumor directed treatment over surgery given age and location of tumor. 

    Considering Carbo/VCR, but wondering is anyone would consider oral inhibition?
