This document discusses different types of brain cysts and tumors. It begins by explaining that brain cysts are not truly brain tumors as they do not arise from brain tissue, and lists the main types as arachnoid, colloid, dermoid, and epidermoid cysts. It then provides details on the locations and characteristics of each cyst type. The document further discusses benign brain tumors including meningiomas, pituitary tumors, and various low and high grade gliomas. It includes CT and MRI images illustrating examples of each tumor type discussed.

- 10. Brain cysts located in the brain are not truly “brain tumors” because they do not arise from the brain tissue itself. Although they tend to be (benign noncancerous), they are sometimes found in parts of the brain that control vital functions. There are four main types of cysts found in the brain: Arachnoid Cyst (also called Leptomeningeal Cyst): An enlarged, fluid-filled area of the subarachnoid space that occurs in both adults and children. Colloid Cyst: Although scientists are not sure of the definitive cause of colloid cysts, most agree that these cysts begin during embryonic development of the central nervous system. Malignant forms are unknown. Dermoid Cyst: These cysts most likely form during the early weeks of fetal development even though symptoms may not be noticed until years later. They are usually benign. Epidermoid Cyst (also called Epidermoid Tumor): Often referred to as epidermoid tumors. Likely form during the early weeks of fetal development even though the symptoms may not be noticed until decades later.
- 11. Location Cysts can appear in a variety of locations within the brain. Arachnoid Cysts appear in the subarachnoid space (between the arachnoid and pia mater layers of the meninges). Colloid Cysts are typically attached to the roof of the third ventricle and the choroid plexus. Dermoid Cysts, though rarely found in the brain, are usually located at the lower back portion of the brain (the posterior fossa) in older adults and in the lower end of the spine in older children and young adults. Epidermoid Cysts tend to be located in the area where the top part of the brain meets the brain stem. Arachnoid Cysts are enlarged, fluid-filled areas between layers of the covering of the brain. Colloid Cysts tend to contain a thick, gel-like substance called colloid. Dermoid and Epidermoid Cysts are tumor-like spheres.

- 23. Meningiomas are the most common extra-axial tumours of the central nervous system. They are a non-glial neoplasm that originates from the arachnoid cap cells of the meninges. Meningiomas have characteristic imaging findings although there are many variants. They are typically benign with a low recurrence rate but rarely can be malignant. 85-90% supratentorial 45% parasagittal, convexities 15-20% sphenoid ridge 10% olfactory groove/planum sphenoidale 5-10% juxta-sellar 5-10% infratentorial <5% miscellaneous intracranial intraventricular meningioma (choroid plexus) optic nerve meningioma pineal gland spinal: especially thoracic (see spinal meningioma) <1% "extra dural”
- 24. CT is often the first modality employed to investigate neurological signs or symptoms, and often is the modality which detects an incidental lesion: 60% slightly hyperdense to normal brain 20-30% have some calcification 72% brightly and homogeneously contrast enhance , less frequent in malignant or cystic variants hyperostosis typical for meningiomas that abut the base of skull S MR signal characteristics include: T1: isointense: ~60-90% somewhat hypointense: 10-40% compared to grey matter T1 C+ (Gd): usually intense and homogenous enhancement T2: isointense: ~50% hyperintense: 35-40% usually correlates with soft textures and hypervascular tumours very hyperintense lesions may represent the microcystic variant hypointense: 10-15% compared to grey matter DWI: atypical and malignant subtypes may show greater than expected restricted diffusion although recent work suggests that this is not useful in prospectively predicting histological grade

- 63. A glioma is a type of brain tumour that grows from glial cells. Glial cells support nerve cells with energy and nutrients and help maintain the blood-brain barrier. Grade 1-pilocytic astrocytoma: Typically occurs in children in cerebellum, brainstem and occasionally at the cerebral hemispheres. It can occur in adults but less commonly. They slow growing and relatively benign. Grade 11-low grade glioma: They typically occur in young adult(20-50y). And most found in the cerebral hemispheres. Some grade 11 glioma evolve into more aggressive tumours(Grade 111 or IV). Grade 111-Malignant glioma: Includes anaplastic astrocytoma, anaplastic oligodendroglioma and anaplastic mixed oligoastrocytoma. Grade IV-Glioblastoma multiforme(GBM): GBM is the most aggressive and most common primary brain tumour. It usually spread quickly and invade other part of the brain.
