Introduction: Magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) is a potential tool for differential diagnosis between brain abscesses and noninfectious lesion such as a primary brain tumor, lymphoma, brain metastasis, and tuberculoma. Aims and Objectives: To evaluate the role of MRS in imaging of intracranial space occupying lesion and differentiate between benign and malignant conditions and correlate be...

Three patients with verified intracranial tuberculomas are reported. One patient presented with attacks of hydrocephalus initially diagnosed erroneously as migraine, another had multiple tuberculomas and a fourth tuberculoma became apparent during treatment with antituberculous therapy. The third patient presented with a frontal lobe syndrome and the postoperative recovery was complicated by th...

OBJECTIVE To compare and analyze the clinical, radiological, and pathological features of solitary or/and multiple CNS tuberculomas (CNSTs). METHODS The study was conducted at Central South University, First Xiangya Hospital, Changsha, Hunan, China between 1998-2008. Forty-two subjects with diagnosed CNSTs were compared and analyzed by multiple or solitary lesions seen on enhanced MRI. The fi...

STUDY OBJECTIVES To assess the role of contrast-enhanced dynamic CT in the diagnosis of active tuberculoma. SETTING Hospitals with an isolated ward for tuberculosis. METHODS Fifty-five subjects with newly diagnosed active tuberculoma and 24 subjects with inactive tuberculoma were examined and evaluated retrospectively. Six subjects with active tuberculomas and seven subjects with inactive t...

Human cerebral sparganosis is a rare but neglected parasitic disease. We present details of the diagnosis of two cases of migrating cerebral sparganosis from China based on computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging combined with epidemiological information and serology. Its differentiatial diagnosis from other parasitic diseases, tuberculoma and brain tumor by neuroimaging is briefly d...

Ten cases of intracranial tuberculoma are described. These were investigated and treated at one centre in a 20 year period. The last five cases have occurred in immigrant Asians in the last five years, suggesting an increasing incidence. Diagnostic pointers are discussed and the value of brain scanning emphasized.

: Seizures are characterized by abnormally excessive or synchronized neuronal activity in the brain. The purpose of current study is to etiology partial seizure. To identify significant role neuroimaging & EEG. A cross sectional involving a total 100 patients recruited between 2-12 years. All children aged 2 year 12 years age with seizures will undergo neuro imaging, plain and contrast (con...
