Study Description

Brief Summary: We planned to evaluate the change in tumor dimensions of intraaxial parenchymal tumors after craniotomy by comparing the tumor size on intraoperative ultrasonography (IOUSG) with pre-operative CECT and CEMRI brain.

Detailed Description: Background: No previous study to determine the intraoperative changes in the tumor dimensions had been undertaken previously. Objectives: We planned to evaluate the change in tumor dimensions of intraaxial parenchymal tumors after craniotomy by comparing the tumor size on intraoperative ultrasonography (IOUSG) with pre-operative CECT and CEMRI brain. Study Design: This was a prospective observational study. Participants: Patients aged 15-65 years undergoing surgery at SKIMS for intraaxial parenchymal intracranial tumors were included. Methods: Standard pre-operative CECT and CEMRI brain were done to measure tumor dimensions and compared with IOUSG.
