Summary
Brain tumors involve different age groups with a wide range of tumor types involving different anatomical compartments of the brain. The evolution of the brain in vertebrates, including the most recent homo species (including humans), has occurred through increasing structural complexity in more evolved species. In the retrospective study, we will investigate the location of the tumors and different structural aspects of skull anatomy in patients with brain tumors. The information will be compared with the anatomical evolution of the brain and skull in vertebrates to look for possible associations, which can provide insights into evolutionary biology.
Eligibility
Inclusion Criteria1
- • All patients diagnosed with primary brain tumors with available pre/ post-operative or pre-radiation brain images with computed tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)
Exclusion Criteria2
- CT/ MRI is not available before cranial radiotherapy
- Artifacts causing distortion of skull (bony) anatomy
Interventions
Quantitative and anthropometric analysis of brain and skull strutcure of imaging (CT/ MRI) undertaken as part of diagnosis or treatment for patients with brain tumor
