Abstract

Brain tumors are abnormal tissue growths within the intracranial cavity that may cause mass effect, increased intracranial pressure, and neurological dysfunction. Space Occupying Lesion (SOL) cerebri refers to a mass or pathological process occupying space within the cranial cavity, resulting in structural and functional disturbances of the brain. The clinical manifestations of brain tumors vary depending on the location, size, type, and growth pattern of the tumor. Clinical symptoms may include headache, vomiting, papilledema, seizures, impaired consciousness, behavioral changes, and focal neurological deficits such as hemiparesis, aphasia, visual field disturbances, and sensory impairment. Localizing signs may assist in determining the location of a lesion; however, severe intracranial hypertension may produce misleading localizing signs due to displacement and compression of intracranial structures. The etiology of brain tumors is multifactorial, and in most cases the exact cause remains unknown. Potential factors associated with tumor development include genetic or hereditary factors, embryonic cell rests, radiation exposure, and certain carcinogenic substances. Diagnostic investigations, particularly Computed Tomography (CT) and Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), play an important role in determining the location, size, and characteristics of lesions, as well as detecting perifocal edema, hemorrhage, calcification, and mass effect. Definitive diagnosis of a brain tumor is generally established through histopathological examination. Understanding the anatomy, etiology, clinical manifestations, localizing signs, and diagnostic investigations is essential for supporting the diagnosis and management of patients with brain tumors.
