Challenges in the Clinical and Radiological Differential Diagnosis of Cerebrovascular Events and Malignant Primary Brain Tumors: Reports from a Retrospective Case Series.

CONCLUSION: Despite developing medical imaging methods and diagnostic studies, there are still some difficulties in making differential diagnosis of cerebrovascular events and malignant primary brain tumors. In some patients, further examination and imaging methods may be needed such as MR-spectroscopy (MRI-S), perfusion MR (Per-MRI), Digital substratioangiography (DSA). Despite all these neuroradiological examinations and multidiciplinary evaluation, distinction between CVE and MIT may be difficult, and medicolegal problems may be encountered.
