ABSTRACT
Objective To discuss the diagnosis and treatment of inflammatory granuloma in central nervous system(CNS)to provide reference for clinic.Methods Retrospective data included 8 patients with CNS inflammatory granuloma in Department of Neurosurgery,Shanxi People's Hospital,2012 -2015.We analyzed the imaging features, postoperative symptoms,blood and cerebrospinal fluid changes and prognosis.Results 8 cases all received surgical treatment.All the symptoms were improved,and the CT showed that the lesions were disappeared.All the patients had recovered to normal life and work.Conclusion The diagnosis of CNS inflammatory granuloma is difficult.Clinical manifestations are lack of specificity.The blood and cerebrospinal fluid laboratory examination have no abnormal changes.CT and MRI are the main diagnostic methods.Postoperative pathology is the gold standard for diagnosis.The large lesion,frequent episodes of epilepsy,severe neurological deficits and possibility of brain tumor all should be treated by surgery.
