title: [Extra-axial brain tumors].
abstract: Neuroradiology plays a key role in the diagnosis of patients with brain tumors. Computed tomography (CT) and especially magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) allow accurate anatomic depiction of intracerebral lesions. The implementation of native and contrast studies allows the characterization of the various lesions. This review discusses the imaging aspects with CT and MRI of the most common primary extra-axial brain tumors.
