Coming soonA neoplasm of the brain is an abnormal, uncontrolled proliferation of cells within the cranial cavity, affecting the central nervous system across both pediatric and adult populations.
These lesions encompass primary central nervous system tumors—arising directly from neuroepithelial, glial, or neuronal tissues—as well as secondary metastases originating from systemic malignancies.
Pathophysiologically, both benign and malignant lesions compromise neurological integrity by direct parenchymal infiltration, local tissue destruction, mass effect, or elevation of intracranial pressure within the rigid skull.
Defining clinical features depend on anatomical localization and rate of growth, typically presenting with progressive headaches, focal neurological deficits, cognitive or personality alterations, and new-onset seizures.
