Journal Title: International Journal of Contemporary Medicine surgery and Radiology - Year 2018, Vol 3, Issue 4
Abstract
Introduction: Brain tumours are a diverse group of primary CNS tumours and secondary neoplasms arising either from the brain or from haematogenous spread from distant sites. Headache as a first and isolated presentation of brain tumours is much rarer. Hence; we planned the present study to retrospectively review 50 intracranial tumors evaluated by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Material and methods: The present retrospective study included retrospective assessment of data records of the patients with intracranial tumour who underwent MRI evaluation. A total of 50 cases reviewed in the present study. Prevalence of each tumour in different genders was also done. All the results were compiled in Microsoft excel sheet and were analyzed by SPSS software. Results: Invading Nasal tumour was found to be present in 5 cases, Pituitary tumour was found to be present in 7 cases, Meningioma was found to be present in 12 cases, Choroid plexus tumour was found to be present in 8 cases, Astrocytoma was found to be present in 6 cases and Oligodendroglioma was found to be present in 5 cases. Conclusion: MRI is a useful tool in diagnosing the extension and morphology of brain tumour
