Evaluation of CT Scan and MRI Findings of Pathologically Proved Gliomas in an Iranian Population
Abstract
Purpose: The aim of this study was to report the main CT scan and MRI findings of gliomas in a group of Iranian patients.
Material and Methods: The MRI and CT scan of 96 pathologically proven patients of gliomas were retrospectively evaluated in a period of five years in our university affiliated hospital. We included all cases who had both CT scan and MRI in our study.
Results: Among our patients, 60 (62.5%) were male and 36 (37.5%) were female. The mean age of our patients was 41.8±19.3 (7-78). The most common location of tumor was in the parietal lobes (54.2%) followed by the temporal lobes (52.1%), and the frontal lobes (39.6%). The most common subtype was glioblastoma multiform in 42 patients (43.8%). Edema, cystic formation, and hemorrhage were more frequently found in MRI in comparison with CT scan, while CT scan showed calcification better than MRI.
Conclusion: In contrast to many other studies, the most common site of gliomas in our patients was parietal lobes.
