Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2018, Vol 17, Issue 11
Abstract
Introduction: Tumours of central nervous system constitute 1%-2% of tumours in adults. Few studies are available from India which show a lower incidence of brain tumours compared to the developed countries. Not much is known about the epidemiology of brain tumours in South Indian population. Aim: To identify the age and gender distribution, different histological types and grades of brain tumours according to 2016 WHO classification. Material and Methods: A retrospective study of 122 cases of brain tumours over a period of four years was done. We reclassified and graded the tumors based on 2016 WHO classification. Age and gender distribution, clinical presentation, site of tumour and histopathologic patterns with grade were noted and the data was analysed. Results: Predominant age group affected was between 40-50 years, with a male to female ratio of 1.14:1. Diffuse Astrocytic tumors were the most common type, followed by Meningiomas. Majority of cases were of WHO grade II and involved frontal lobe predominantly. Conclusion: This study gave a glimpse of the representative incidence of various types of CNS tumors in our institution. Over all the age and gender distribution, histological pattern and grading of CNS tumours in our cohort paralleled with the national data.
