Abstract
The correlation of computerized tomography (CT) features with survival of 28 patients with primary intracranial lymphoma was analysed retrospectively. Severe perifocal oedema, periventricular tumours and lesions which were non-homogenously enhancing or non-enhancing were found to be associated with a poor prognosis. The prognosis when multiple lesions were present was almost the same as that of a solitary lesion (p = 0.95). Ring enhancing lesions had considerably longer survival. Lesions in the frontal region and those close to the meninges, enhancing homogeneously, had a better prognosis.Keywords
