Intracranial space occupying lesions--review of 386 cases
Abstract:
An analysis of 386 cases of Intracranial Space Occupying Lesions (SOL) including neoplastic and inflammatory masses diagnosed and treated at Jinnah Postgraduate Medical Centre, Karachi over a period of 2 years is presented. C.T. Scan and MRI were used for the diagnosis of midline, multiple and very small lesions. S.O.L. were more common in males in the age group 11-20 years. Gliomas comprised 32.1% of the total cases followed by meningiomas 13.7%, abscesses 13.2% and pituitary tumours 13.2%. Tuberculomas constituted 5.5% and therefore, should always be considered in the differential diagnosis.

Cranial Bones: Superior and Posterior View
The frontal bone is the single bone that forms the forehead. At its anterior midline, between the eyebrows, there is a slight depression called the glabella. The frontal bone also forms the supraorbital margin of the orbit. Near the middle of this margin is the supraorbital foramen, the opening that provides passage for a sensory nerve to the forehead. The frontal bone is thickened just above each supraorbital margin,...
