BACKGROUND: Ring enhancing lesions of the brain are one of the most common imaging abnormalities encountered on neuroimaging. These lesions can occur due to infectious, neoplastic, vascular or inflammatory diseases.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: This was a descriptive study in patients from Dr. Balasaheb Vikhe Patil Rural Medical college, Loni. All patients referred to the department of Radiodiagnosis in last one year with clinical suspicion were included in the study irrespective of their age and sex after written informed consent from their parent/guardian. The MRI scan was performed on 3 TESLA MRI PHILIPS INGENIA ELITION X machine. Contrast enhanced images were requested for better delineation of these lesions. Initially we localized the lesion via a contrast MRI scan and a voxel was subsequently placed at its location.
RESULTS: Seizures was the most commonly encountered complaint in majority of cases. Out of the 45 patients evaluated, 21 were tuberculomas, 14 were NCC, 4 were cerebral abscesses, 4 were metastases and 2 cases comprised of primary brain malignancies. The highest incidence was found to be in the age group between 21-30 years of age while the lowest incidence was reported in age more than 60 years. Out of 45, 35 were males while 10 were females.
CONCLUSION: The use of MRI along with MR Spectroscopy is of vital importance and serves as a primary research tool in neurodiagnosis. The most common encountered ring enhancing lesions in developing country like India was found to be neurocysticercosis and tuberculomas.
