Extraaxial

Where is the lesion 

Extra-axial (external to the pia)



Intra-axial (beneath the pia)



Supratentorial



Infratentorial

Scwhannoma Meningioma Epidermoid Metastases

EXTRA-AXIAL TUMORS:Meningioma Pituitary adenoma

How old is the patient 

Child



Adult

Craniopharyngioma Schwannoma

INTRA-AXIAL VS EXTRA-AXIAL INTRA-AXIAL • • •

Narrows CSF space Displaces cortex toward periphery Gray matter stretched over lesion

EXTRA-AXIAL • •

Widens CSF space Displaces brain; deeper lesion has a broad base toward dura



Gray-white “buckling”

matter

INTRA-AXIAL Location • • • •

Cortex Gray-white junction Deep white matter intraventricular

1. MENINGIOMA • Common locations convexity, interhemispheric, tent. Classically iso to GM on all sequences. •

Most common extraaxial neoplasm of adults



15 % of primary intracranial neoplasms,



Peak 50-60 y.o., F 2:1 intracranial, 4:1 intraspinal



CT

Differential Diagnosis • • • •

Glioma Medulloblastoma Hemangioblastoma Metastases

EXTRA-AXIAL Location • • • • • •

Subarachnoid Subdural Epidural Calvarium Subgaleal Scalp (soft-tissues)

Differential Diagnosis • • • • • • •

Meningioma Pituitary adenoma Craniopharyngioma Schwanomma Chordoma Dermoid/epidermoid, cyst, lipoma Metastasis

BRAIN TUMORS IN CHILDREN Supratentorial (52%) • •

Low grade astrocytoma Craniopharyngiomas



Hyperdense



Variable edema (possibly extensive),



Intense enhancement



Dural tail (60%) – nonspecific,



+/- cysts, +/- fat

 Vascular supply: ECA 85%, ICA 63%- “mother in law sign”- comes early, stays late •

MRI 

Distinguishing features: lens shaped/ plaque-like appearance, hypo T2



Meningiomas typically hypo T2 due to fibrous content or calcification,



Strongly enhance, iso noncom T1. Broad dural base, extraaxial, +/- dural tail

Infratentorial (48%) • • • •

Cerebellar astrocytoma Brainstem gliomas Medulloblastomas Ependymomas

BRAIN TUMORS IN ADULTS Supratentorial (80-85%) Intraaxial Astrocytoma Oligodendroglioma Extraaxial Meningioma Pituitary adenoma Infratentorial (uncommon)

***A 63 y.o. M with mild dementia and decreased vision left eye

Meningioma

On MRI: T1 – similar to brain parenchyma, min. CSF cleft, buckling cortex, homogenous enhancement, dural tail
