Computerized Tomography
|January 1, 1979
Summary
This case report highlights an undifferentiated astrocytoma that rapidly grew. Computer assisted tomography (CAT) effectively detected this intracranial pathology despite misleading neurological signs.
Area of Science:
- Neuro-oncology
- Neuroradiology
- Neuropathology
Background:
- Undifferentiated astrocytoma is a challenging diagnosis.
- Rapid tumor growth can occur in certain brain tumors.
- Neurological findings can sometimes be misleading in intracranial pathology.
