intracranial space-occupying lesions

Intracranial space-occupying lesion refers to a group of diseases occupying a certain spatial position in the brain. Intracranial space-occupying lesion mainly includes infectious lesion, cerebrovascular disease, parasitic disease, tumor and other diseases. 2. Cerebrovascular diseases such as intracranial aneurysms, arteriovenous malformations, etc. Although these lesions are not tumors, their existence will affect normal intracranial blood circulation, and may even rupture and bleed, causing serious neurological symptoms. 3. Parasitic diseases Some parasites can parasitize in the brain and form space-occupying lesions. 4. Tumors can be primary brain tumors, such as glioma, meningioma, etc., or malignant tumors in other parts of the body metastasizing to the intracranial. Abnormal proliferation of tumor cells will gradually occupy the intracranial space, compressing the surrounding brain tissue, resulting in various symptoms, such as headache, vomiting, neurological dysfunction, etc. 5. Others include intracranial hematoma, granuloma, etc. For intracranial space-occupying lesions, diagnosis usually requires a comprehensive use of multiple examination methods, such as head CT, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), etc. Treatment methods depend on the nature, location, size of the lesion and the specific conditions of the patient. May include Surgical resection, radiotherapy, chemotherapy, interventional therapy, etc. Surgical resection is the primary treatment for many intracranial space-occupying lesions, but the surgical risk is high and needs careful evaluation.

Radiotherapy and chemotherapy play an important role in some malignant tumors or lesions that cannot be completely removed. Intracranial space-occupying lesions are a serious disease that requires timely diagnosis and treatment. Early detection, accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment are essential to improve the prognosis of patients.
