ABSTRACT
Background:
Extra-axial tumors are the most common adult intracranial neoplasms. Meningiomas are the most common Extra-axial tumors. Their Clinical presentation, survival rates, and prognosis vary depending on the site and specific type of tumor, hence necessitating a detailed clinical and radiological evaluation. Materials andmethods:
A prospective observational study on 15 symptomatic subjects who presented to a tertiary care hospital with Supratentorial intracranial tumors confirmed by CT was done. After getting a detailed history, clinical examination and CT (including contrast) were done.Results:
In the study population, 73% had meningioma. 13% had a Pituitary Adenoma. 13% had craniopharyngioma. A headache was the most commonly reported symptom (73%). Majority of meningiomas were located in convexity of the brain (36.4%) and parasagittal areas (36.4 %).Conclusions:
Neuroradiology plays a key role in the identification of supratentorial extra-axial tumors with CT allowing accurate anatomical description which can go a long way in management and defining prognosis.
