Summary
Skull X-rays reveal changes in bone volume, vascular patterns, and calcification in patients with brain and meningeal tumors. These findings aid in diagnosing tumors and planning surgical interventions.
Area of Science:
- Neuroradiology
- Oncology
Background:
- Brain and meningeal tumors can cause significant alterations in the skull.
- Accurate diagnosis is crucial for effective treatment planning.
Purpose of the Study:
- To investigate the roentgenological alterations of skull bones in patients with brain and meningeal tumors.
- To assess the diagnostic value of craniography in detecting these tumors.
Main Methods:
- X-ray examination (craniography) of 57 patients with confirmed brain and meningeal tumors.
- Analysis of general and local roentgenological changes in skull bones and the sella turcica.
Main Results:
- Observed changes included alterations in skull bone volume (diminution or enlargement).
- Intensification of the cranial vault's vascular pattern and tumor calcification were noted.
- Secondary changes in the sella turcica were also identified.
Conclusions:
- Craniography provides valuable information on skull bone alterations associated with brain and meningeal tumors.
- These findings support the use of craniography in the diagnostic workup and surgical planning for suspected intracranial neoplasms.
