Journal Title: International Journal of Medical Research Professionals - Year 2018, Vol 4, Issue 4
Abstract
Background: Central nervous system (CNS) pathologies are a significant cause of mortality and morbidity world-wide. Frequently, structural neuroimaging exams (brain computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)) are requested as part of the initial medical work-up in patients with CNS diseases. Hence; we planned the present study to retrospectively analyze the imaging findings in patients CNS lesions. Materials & Methods: The present study included assessment of imaging findings in patients with CNS lesions. Data records of a total of 25 patients were included in the present study. All the data records were obtained from the archives of the department of Radio-diagnosis of the medical institute. MRI findings in all the patients were obtained from their records files. Data in relation to the final diagnosis was also obtained. Compilation of the results was done in Microsoft excel sheet. Results: A total of 25 patients with mean age of 49.7 years were analyzed. Among these 25 patients, 15 were males while the remaining 10 were females. The various observed in the present study were Lymphoma, CNS Tuberculosis, Cystic brain lesion, Early stage neurocysticercosis, Ischemic tumor like stroke, Brain abscess, Sarcoidosis, Metastasis, Developmental venous anomaly (DVA) and Intraventricular cavernoma. Conclusion: MRI shows spectrum of pathognomic findings mostly specific for each group of lesions.
