Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

We planned to evaluate the change in tumor dimensions of intraaxial parenchymal tumors after craniotomy by comparing the tumor size on intraoperative ultrasonography (IOUSG) with pre-operative CECT and CEMRI brain.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Background: No previous study to determine the intraoperative changes in the tumor dimensions had been undertaken previously. Objectives: We planned to evaluate the change in tumor dimensions of intraaxial parenchymal tumors after craniotomy by comparing the tumor size on intraoperative ultrasonography (IOUSG) with pre-operative CECT and CEMRI brain. Study Design: This was a prospective observational study. Participants: Patients aged 15-65 years undergoing surgery at SKIMS for intraaxial parenchymal intracranial tumors were included. Methods: Standard pre-operative CECT and CEMRI brain were done to measure tumor dimensions and compared with IOUSG.

Eligibility Criteria

Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.

Inclusion Criteria

* All patients above the age of 15 years conferring to Grade I and II of American Society of Anesthesiologist (ASA) physical status classification system, undergoing elective craniotomy with intracranial tumor excision were included in this study. Patients with or without any neuro-deficit were also included. Only those patients in whom all the tumor dimensions could be defined with precision on pre-operative CECT, CEMRI and IOUSG were included in the final analysis.

Exclusion Criteria

* Patients' in whom there are multiple intracranial tumors (e.g. metastasis), deep seated tumors, inability to use IOUSG and in whom exact tumor dimensions cannot be defined either on pre-operative CECT/CEMRI or on IOUSG were excluded.
