The MRI of the brain revealed a new brain mass within the right parietal-occipital lobe, measuring 5.2x3.8x5 cm (Figure 1A and B).
Computed tomography (CT) scan of the head without contrast.. Notes: (A) An axial CT imaging scan demonstrating a mass in the right parietal-occipital lobe with a mass effect on the occipital horn of the right lateral ventricle and surrounding edema. (B) An axial CT imaging scan demonstrating postoperative changes following right occipital craniotomy and biopsy, including a small focus of hemorrhage likely at the biopsy site.. Abbreviation: CT, computed tomography.
