Computer assisted tomography in rapidly growing brain tumor.
A case of undifferentiated astrocytoma with rapid increase in size of the tumor as documented by sequential computer assisted tomography (CAT) of the head is reported. The case also demonstrates the sensitivity of computer assisted tomography in the detection of intracranial pathology, in the presence of fals localizing neurological findings.
