Journal Title: MedPulse -International Medical Journal - Year 2017, Vol 4, Issue 7
Abstract
Background: Primary CNS neoplasms are the sixth most common tumors in adult Aims and Objectives:To study various features of intracranial neoplasm on CT Head scan with intravenous contrast Methodology:This was a cross-sectional study carried out at Shri. Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj General Hospital, Solapur, Maharashtra in the Department of Radiodiagnosis Carried out in patients of both sexes and all ages who came to department of radiodiagnosis with clinical suspicion of intracranial neoplasm Results: Glioblastoma multiforme (13%), high grade glioma (9%) and low grade glioma (7%) were commonly seen. Neoplasms were more commonly seen in supratentorial intra-axial location (47%) followed by supratentorial extra-axial location (27%).Our study clearly noted that primary brain tumors occurred more frequently (85%) than metastatic tumors (15%). This study showed that the cystic component was associated with craniopharyngioma, epidermoid, pilocytic astrocytoma and hemangoiblastoma. High grade malignant tumors like GBM, high grade glioma shown necrotic centers. Majority meningioma (87.5%), oligodendroglioma (100%) and craniopharyngioma (100%) were characterized by presence of calcification. Haemorrhage was associated with 22.2% of high grade glioma, 30.7% of GBM and one case i.e. 6.6% of metastases Bony changes in the form of either hyperostosis or erosion, destruction were mainly seen with extra-axial tumors as in 62.5% of meningioma and 100% acoustic neuroma, pituitary adenoma and ethmoidal carcinoma extending to brain conclusion: Our study clearly noted that primary brain tumors occurred more frequently than metastatic tumors, that Neoplasms were more commonly seen in supratentorial intra-axial location followed by supratentional extra-exial location This study showed that the cystic component was associated with craniopharyngioma, epidermoid, pilocytic astrocytoma and hemangioblastoma. Bony changes seen with acoustic neuroma etc.
