Differential Diagnosis between Neoplastic and Non-Neoplastic Brain Lesions in Radiology

Abstract: Introduction The observation of multiple lesions in a skull computed tomography (CT) scan is always cause for concern because of the frequent possibility of neoplastic etiology, although granulomatous, infectious, vascular, iatrogenic, demielinating, trauma, parasitic diseases, and strokes can produce a similar aspect on radiology. A wide range of non-neoplastic conditions can mimic a brain tumor, both clinically and radiologically, representing a potential pitfall for physicians involved in patient care. The … Show more

“…In contrast, decreased venous return may induce an increase of the central venous pressure. This in turn increases cerebral perfusion pressure, thereby causing venous stasis, followed by rupture of vessels 30,31,32 . All of the factors that may disturb cerebral perfusion can induce intracerebral hemorrhage in the premature infant: soft cranial bones, traumatic delivery, asphyxia, hypertension, hypotonia, apnea, patent ductus arteriosus, hypoxia, hypercapnia, fast expansion of volume, respiratory disturbance, rupture of pulmonary alveoli, or careless transport and handling of the baby.…”
