MULTISLICE COMPUTED TOMOGRAPHIC EVALUATION OF INTRACRANIAL SPACE OCCUPYING LESIONS

Post-traumatic intracranial space-occupying lesions.

Fiberoptic bronchoscopy in the presence of space-occupying intracranial lesions.

The performance of flexible fiberoptic bronchoscopy (FFB) has anecdotally been considered to carry a high risk of neurologic complications in patients with raised intracranial pressure (ICP). There is no evidence in the literature to support this concern. We evaluated this risk by reviewing hospital records of 132 patients who underwent FFB and computer tomography of the central nervous system ...

Intracranial space occupying lesions. Review of 2332 cases.

An analysis of 386 cases of Intracranial Space Occupying Lesions (SOL) including neoplastic and inflammatory masses diagnosed and treated at Jinnah Postgraduate Medical Centre, Karachi over a period of 2 years is presented. C.T. Scan and MRI were used for the diagnosis of midline, multiple and very small lesions. S.O.L. were more common in males in the age group 11-20 years. Gliomas comprised 3...

Intracranial structural lesions in young epileptics: a computed tomographic study.

Intracranical structural lesions (ISL), lesions associated with morphological changes in the brain or the cranial cavity, are important cause of symptomatic epilepsy. Knowledge of such ISLs in the past were based on selective neuroradiologic investigations, observarions at surgery, pathological examination of surgically resected specimens and autopsy findings. Modern neuroimaging techniques lik...

Renal imaging: a comparison of radionuclide, ultrasound, and computed tomographic scanning in investigation of renal space-occupying lesions.

Two studies were carried out in which 27 and 23 patients respectively with renal space-occupying lesions were assessed by different techniques and the results compared. Instead of proceeding to renal arteriography after the lesion had been found on urography, radionuclide and ultrasound scanning were used in the first study to clarify the nature of the lesions, while in the second study compute...
