Brain tumor cases make up a significant part of the neurosurgery Oral Board Exam. A multitude of brain tumors exist and can be intraaxial or extraaxial. When considering a differential diagnosis for a brain lesion, infection, hematomas, infarctions, thrombosed aneurysms, inflammation, and demyelinating disease must be considered in addition to tumors. Common adult brain tumors consist of gliomas, meningiomas, metastases, and pituitary tumors. Management of brain tumors consists of understanding preoperative care, indications for surgery, surgical approaches, interpretation of preoperative and postoperative imaging, intraoperative and postoperative complications, and the role of adjuvant therapy, including chemotherapy and radiotherapy.
