Abstract :

In this retrospective as well as prospective study 26 cases of intracranial tumors were included and each case was studied with ief clinical history like age of the patient, sex and origin of the intracranial tumors and histopathological examination of each case was done by routine paraffin wax sections and stained by H&E stains. In the present study, males predominated females in all age groups and male to female ratio was 2.71 . 35% of patients with intracranial tumors were in the age group of 41–60 years, 31% of patients were in the age group of 21–40 years, 27% were in the age group of 0–20 years and only 8% cases were noticed in the age of 61 years or above. In the present study, most common intracranial tumours were neuroepithelial tumors (73%), followed by meningioma (15%), neuroblastoma(8%) ependymoma (5%), with not a single case of secondary tumor, plasma cell neoplasm, leukaemia and lymphoma of central nervous system. Since, the intracranial tumors are rare, the finding of present study may be considered as almost a oad representation of the different types of intracranial tumors commonly encountered.
