Journal Title: International Journal of Medical Research Professionals - Year 2018, Vol 4, Issue 4
Abstract
Objective: The aim of this study was to observe recent incidence of different CNS tumors and to study clinical and histopathological spectrum in Ajmer region. Methods: In two year retrospective study, from January 2014 to December 2015, total 56 cases were analysed. Data regarding clinical presentation and radiological features were obtained from clinical case records. The biopsy samples were received in 10 % buffered formalin, routinely processed for histopathological examination and sections were stained by H&E stain. Special stain and IHC done whenever required. Results: Samples from 56 cases were analysed and it was found that most common age group affected was between 31-40 years and 11-20 years. The mean age was 35.94 and age range was 3-74 years. Male to female ratio was found to be 1.15:1. Intracranial tumors (91%) were most common than intraspinal tumors (8%). Among intracranial tumors, supratentorial (92.15%) were more common than infratentorial (7.84%). Frontal lobe (25%) was most common affected site followed by frontoparietal region (19%). Headache (30%) was most common symptom followed by vertigo. Histologically Astrocytoma (41%) constituted the maximum number of cases followed by meningioma (28%). Metastatic tumors constituted 7% of cases. Conclusion: This study concluded that intracranial CNS tumors were most common than intraspinal. Neuroepithelial tumors (astrocytoma) are the commonest CNS tumors. Middle age males are most commonly affected than females. In addition to clinical history and radiological finding, histopathology is always a confirmatory tool.
