Abstract Background Cerebral neoplasm arises from brain, spinal cord and meningeal cells. Not only malignant cerebral neoplasm also benign tumor could lead to death due to mass effect on vital structures. Access to these tumors is difficult, and MRI and CT scan could be helpful in determining anatomical location of tumors and distinction of malignant from benign. Objective For better and ea...

Epithelioid hemangioendothelioma (EHE) is one of the rarest vascular tumor found in brain. In pediatric group patients, proportion EHE only 0.02% all brain neoplasms, and therefore oncogenesis causes are currently not well understood. Intracranial localization extremely rare, nevertheless, this type neoplasm should be included differential diagnostic series when multiple small intracerebral mas...

intracranial gliosis has no typical clinical signals or imaging characteristics. therefore, it can be easily misdiagnosed as neoplasm. hereby, we report a unique case of gliosis that grew outward from the surface of the brain. mri depicted its signal and enhancement pattern similar to the cerebral gray matter. the diagnosis was confirmed by pathology and immunohistochemistry. although it was di...

neurofibromatosis type 2 is an inherited disease. the main manifestation of the disease is the development of symmetric, non-malignant brain tumors in the region of the cranial nerve viii usually as schwannoma. we report here a 20-year-old woman with primary intracranial malignant nerve sheath tumor located in the left cerebellopontine angle. histologically, the tumor showed malignant spindle c...

Brain tumors represent the most common solid neoplasm in children and second most common pediatric malignancy overall, following leukemia. Outside of infancy, the majority of primary childhood brain tumors occur in the infratentorial compartment and include medulloblastoma, juvenile pilocytic astrocytoma (JPA), ependymoma, and brainstem/ pontine glioma; atypical teratoid rhabdoid tumor (ATRT) i...

Background and Aim: DTI-based tractography could help us to visualize the spatial relation of fiber tracts to brain lesions. Several factors may interfere with the procedure of diffusion-based tractography, especially in brain tumors. The aim of the current study is to discuss several solutions to improve the procedure of fiber reconstruction adjacent or inside brain lesions. Illustrative cases...

AIM The economy of each state provides a significant amount of money into the health care system with the aim of knowing the health status of its population in the context of socioeconomic characteristics for effective resource allocation. In recent years, there is a growing number of cancer deaths in Slovakia. Therefore, the structure of cancer deaths according to its primary determinants, suc...
