Demographic and Clinical Profiles of Patients with Intracranial Neoplastic Mass Detected In Magnetic Resonance Imaging: A Retrospective Study
Journal Title: INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF SCIENTIFIC STUDY - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 9
Abstract
Introduction: Brain tumor account for 85% to 90% of all primary central nervous system (CNS) tumors. It is common in children and elderly. Rest account for secondary brain tumor (metastasis). It is more common in adults. Brain tumor is the 10th leading cause of death for both men and women in US. Objective: To know the demographic and clinical profile of patients with intracranial neoplastic mass at Indira Gandhi Institute of Medical Sciences (IGIMS), a tertiary care hospital of Bihar. Materials and Methods: It is a retrospective study and done over a period of four months, from mid December 2016 to April 2017, in the department of Radio diagnosis at IGIMS. Result: Majority of the patients were found in the 4th decade. Glioma was the most common brain tumor followed by meningioma. There was no definite lobar predilection. Males were affected more as compared to females. Conclusion: MRI remains the first line investigation for the diagnosis and evaluation of intracranial masses in pre and postoperative period with reasonable degree of diagnostic accuracy. With the advent of newer modification of MRI such as MR venography, MR spectroscopy and MR perfusion etc. diagnostic accuracy has been increased.
