ABSTRACT
The aim of this study was to report the main CT scan and MRI findings of gliomas in a group of Iranian patients. The MRI and CT scan of 96 pathologically proven patients of gliomas were retrospectively evaluated in a period of five years in our university affiliated hospital. We included all cases who had both CT scan and MRI in our study. Among our patients, 60 [62.5%] were male and 36 [37.5%] were female. The mean age of our patients was 41.8 +/- 19.3 [7-78]. The most common location of tumor was in the parietal lobes [54.2%] followed by the temporal lobes [52.1%], and the frontal lobes [39.6%]. The most common subtype was glioblastoma multiform in 42 patients [43.8%]. Edema, cystic formation, and hemorrhage were more frequently found in MRI in comparison with CT scan, while CT scan showed calcification better than MRI. In contrast to many other studies, the most common site of gliomas in our patients was parietal lobes
