Abstract
- As more experience with computed tomography(C-T) is acquired, it is becoming apparent that differential diagnosis based on C-T appearances can be difficult. Many different pathologic processes can have similar enhancement patterns. We present 10 patients who underwent operation under the impression of brain tumor based on the C-T findings cannot be overemphasized. The clinician must be aware of the limitations and pitfalls associated with the computed tomography.
