Clinical Pathological Profile of Supratentorial Neoplasms as Diagnosed by Computerized Tomography (CT)
Journal Title: International Journal of Contemporary Medicine surgery and Radiology - Year 2018, Vol 3, Issue 1
Abstract
Introduction: Brain neoplasms may be classified by location of Supratentorial, infratentorial and midline tumours. Of the supratentorial neoplasm, meningiomas are the most frequent extra-axial neoplasm. CT has become the most important diagnostic procedure in evaluating patients suspected of harbouring an intracranial tumour. It is still considered the basic radiologic study since it gives specific information for the management of brain tumours and is minimally invasive. The purpose of this study was to assess the distribution, features, localization, and extent of supratentorial neoplasm. Material and Methods: Forty cases with symptoms of intracranial pathology and on CT found to have supratentorial tumours were studied during the period from Jan 2015 to Nov 2017 Results: The CT patterns of 40 supratentorial tumours were reviewed, out of which 25 cases i.e. 62% were found to be intraaxial and 15 i.e. 38% extra-axial tumours. High-grade gliomas formed the major group of the intra axial tumours i.e. 22.5% and meningiomas formed the major extra-axial Tumours forming 27.5% of all supratentorial tumours. Conclusion: CT proves to be a valuable modality of imaging in evaluating the distribution, features, localizing and assessing the extent of various intra and extra-axial tumours in the supratentorial region.
