Intra-operative Variation in Size of Brain Tumors After Craniotomy

Study Purpose

We planned to evaluate the change in tumor dimensions of intraaxial parenchymal tumors after craniotomy by comparing the tumor size on intraoperative ultrasonography (IOUSG) with pre-operative CECT and CEMRI brain.

Recruitment Criteria

Accepts Healthy Volunteers Healthy volunteers are participants who do not have a disease or condition, or related conditions or symptoms	No
Study Type An interventional clinical study is where participants are assigned to receive one or more interventions (or no intervention) so that researchers can evaluate the effects of the interventions on biomedical or health-related outcomes. An observational clinical study is where participants identified as belonging to study groups are assessed for biomedical or health outcomes. Searching Both is inclusive of interventional and observational studies.	Observational
Eligible Ages	15 Years - 75 Years
Gender	All

More Inclusion & Exclusion Criteria

Inclusion Criteria:

- All patients above the age of 15 years conferring to Grade I and II of American Society of Anesthesiologist (ASA) physical status classification system, undergoing elective craniotomy with intracranial tumor excision were included in this study.

Patients with or without any neuro-deficit were also included. Only those patients in whom all the tumor dimensions could be defined with precision on pre-operative CECT, CEMRI and IOUSG were included in the final analysis.

Exclusion Criteria:

- Patients' in whom there are multiple intracranial tumors (e.g. metastasis), deep seated tumors, inability to use IOUSG and in whom exact tumor dimensions cannot be defined either on pre-operative CECT/CEMRI or on IOUSG were excluded.

Trial Details

Trial ID: This trial id was obtained from ClinicalTrials.gov, a service of the U.S. National Institutes of Health, providing information on publicly and privately supported clinical studies of human participants with locations in all 50 States and in 196 countries.	NCT04365647
Phase Phase 1: Studies that emphasize safety and how the drug is metabolized and excreted in humans. Phase 2: Studies that gather preliminary data on effectiveness (whether the drug works in people who have a certain disease or condition) and additional safety data. Phase 3: Studies that gather more information about safety and effectiveness by studying different populations and different dosages and by using the drug in combination with other drugs. Phase 4: Studies occurring after FDA has approved a drug for marketing, efficacy, or optimal use.

Additional Details

Background: No previous study to determine the intraoperative changes in the tumor dimensions had been undertaken previously. Objectives: We planned to evaluate the change in tumor dimensions of intraaxial parenchymal tumors after craniotomy by comparing the tumor size on intraoperative ultrasonography (IOUSG) with pre-operative CECT and CEMRI brain. Study Design: This was a prospective observational study. Participants: Patients aged 15-65 years undergoing surgery at SKIMS for intraaxial parenchymal intracranial tumors were included. Methods: Standard pre-operative CECT and CEMRI brain were done to measure tumor dimensions and compared with IOUSG.
