Abstract

A total of forty two clinically diagnosed pediatric brain tumors were studied over a period of two years. The study was aimed to evaluate the efficacy of computed tomography (CT) in pre-operative diagnosis of pediatric brain tumors by correlating the imaging findings with postoperative histopathological findings. Site, density, mass effect and contrast enhancement of the lesion were studied as primary efficacy variables of CT scan. In the present study, the common pediatric brain tumors were astrocytoma, medulloblastoma, craniopharyngioma and ependymoma. In 18(42.9%) cases the tumors were supratentorial and in 24 (57.1%), they were infratentorial in location. The findings of CT scan in different intracranial neoplasm strongly correlated with those of histopathology. The validity tests for CT scan were found to be 88.9% sensitive, 100% specific and about 95% accurate in diagnosing astrocytoma. Similarly the sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy for medulloblastoma were 100%, 96.9% and 97.7% respectively. For craniopharyngioma the values were 85.7%, 100% and 97.7% respectively. The study concludes that CT is an invaluable imaging modality in preoperative diagnosis of pediatric brain tumor due to its excellent characterization of tumors.

Abstract

Aneurysmal bone cysts of the skull are rare and involvement of sphenoid bone is even less frequent. We present X-ray, CT, MR imaging and histopathologic findings of an aneurismal bone cyst of the sphenoid in a 15-years old female adolescent. Radiological findings of the aneurysmal bone cyst of the skull were highly suggestive of the diagnosis and that were confirmed by histopathologic analysis.

Abstract

One hundred consecutively admitted deliberate self-harm patients were studied. By using DSM III-R criteria for Major Depressive Episode (MDE) 38 were found to have major depressive disorder. Among them 27 were severe, 9 were moderate and only 2 were mild according to HRSD score which were entirely consistent with severity grading recorded by DSM III-R. Another 48 showed evidence of depressive symptoms which may be due to extreme subjective distress. All the depressed self-harm patients had depressed mood and almost all of them expressive somatization. Only 5 depressed self-harm patients were getting psychiatric treatment which indicate lack of awareness about the existence of depression among deliberate self-harm patients and poor referral service in the hospitals.
