Thalamic gliomas: clinical and computed tomographic correlations

Sixteen patients who had clinical and CT findings consistent with thalamic gliomas were retrospectively analyzed. The patients were clustered in a younger group of which 89% were females and the older group of which 72% were males. The CT findings were positive for a thalamic mass in all cases; however, other lesions simulated the findings of a thalamic glioma.
