Brain tumour segmentation aims to separate the various types of tissues like active cells, necrotic core, and edema from normal brain substantia alba (WM), grey matter (GM), spinal fluid (CSF). Magnetic Resonance Imaging based studies are attracting more attention in recent years thanks non-invasive imaging good soft tissue contrast resonance (MRI) images. With event just about two decades, ing...

PURPOSE Brain tumours are the most common solid tumours in children and adolescents. The increasing survival rate of these patients makes their follow-up and quality of life assessment an important task. The evaluation of the negative influence of anti-cancer treatment on their balance is the aim of this study. MATERIAL AND METHODS The balance assessment was performed on patients who complete...

The coexistence of schwannoma and meningioma in the same cerebellopontine angle (CPA) is uncommon. Especially, the presence of a single mixed tumour composed of demarcated or intermingled components of schwannoma and meningioma tissue is extremely rare. Such a phenomenon is mainly reported in a patient with NF2 or with history of previous irradiation. We present two cases of simultaneous occurr...

A 33-year-old male presented to a chiropractic clinic complaining of chronic, recurrent low back pain. Subtle signs of muscle atrophy were noted in the left hand during the history taking. This muscle atrophy was reported as having a gradual onset spanning the past six months without any precipitating event. Cervical, thoracic and lumbar spinal radiographs were deemed unremarkable. Due to the p...

Brown tumours may occur secondary to hyperparathyroidism in patients with chronic renal failure (CRF). Diagnosing a spinal brown tumour causing cord compression requires a high index of suspicion. We report a 65-year-old woman, who had been on haemodialysis for CRF for over 10 years, who presented with leg weakness and back pain over the thoracolumbar junction. She had a brown tumour at T8 caus...

Background: Definite data regarding the incidence and distribution of renal tumours in eastern India is not known. For better management, as it is essential to identify patients with poor prognosis, prognostic factors like stage, nuclear grade and their relationship to molecular markers are also unclear in this region. The purpose of our study was to assess the spectrum of adu...
