Intracranial neoplasms in Ibadan, Nigeria.

Abstract

Gliomas are the commonest group of intracranial neoplasms in both adults and children. This is followed by metastatic tumours. Tumours of the sella turcica are predominantly found in children. Involvement of the brain in disseminated Burkitt's lymphomas is predominantly found in Africans as the Burkitt's tumour is uncommon in non Africans.
