âOligodendroglioma Oligodendroglioma is a type of glioma, which is a brain tumor that arises from the brain tissue. Oligodendrogliomas most resemble oligodendrocytes, the cells that encircle and insulate the nerve cells of the brain.Oligodendrogliomas often are more anatomically discrete than astrocytomas, another type of glioma, and they are usually more superficial in the brain.ligodendrogliomas most resemble oligodendrocytes, the cells that encircle and insulate the nerve cells of the brain.

Encephalomalacia in the frontal lobe: complication of the endoscopic sinus surgery. Multicystic encephalomalacia refers to the formation of multiple cystic cavities of various sizes in the cerebral cortex of neonates and infants after injury, most notably perinatal hypoxic-ischemic events. Chronic sinusitis has become one of the most common diseases in otolaryngology practice.

Encephalomalacia Human Brain Lobes. Encephalomalacia is one such condition, which describes the loss or softening of brain tissue, hence the reason it is also referred to as cerebral softening. The damage to brain tissue is usually localized, and with time it causes scarring as the tissue dies.

Intracranial abscess / granuloma Introduction: Intracranial abscess / granuloma Description of Intracranial abscess / granuloma Intracranial abscess / granuloma: A circumscribed collection of purulent exudate in the brain, due to bacterial and other infections. The majority are caused by spread of infected material from a focus of suppuration elsewhere in the body, notably the PARANASAL SINUSES, middle ear (see EAR, MIDDLE), HEART (see also ENDOCARDITIS, BACTERIAL), and LUNG.

Granuloma: What does it mean? Although granulomas due to histoplasmosis are noncancerous (benign), they may resemble cancer on an X-ray, especially if they haven't calcified. Granulomas eventually become calcified and have the same density as bone, making them more clearly visible on an X-ray.

Calcinosis cutis Calcinosis cutis is a type of calcinosis wherein calcium deposits form in the skin. A variety of factors can result in this condition. The most common source is dystrophic calcification, which occurs in soft tissue as a response to injury. In addition, calcinosis is seen in Limited Cutaneous Systemic Sclerosis, also known as CREST syndrome. In dogs, calcinosis cutis is found in young, large breed dogs and is thought to occur after a traumatic injury.

- Calcified granuloma: A node-like type of tissue inflammation that has a specific appearance under a microscope (granuloma) and contains calcium deposits. Because it usually takes some time for calcium to be deposited in a granuloma, it is generally assumed that a calcified granuloma is an old granuloma, or an old area of inflammation. For example, a calcified granuloma in the lung may be due to tuberculosis contracted years earlier that is now inactive and dormant.

Gliomatosis Cerebri: This is an uncommon brain tumor that features widespread glial tumor cells in the brain. This tumor is different from other gliomas because it is scattered and widespread, typically involving two or more lobes of the brain. It could be considered a “widespread low-grade glioma” because it does not have the malignant features seen in high-grade tumors.

Encephalomalacia Caused by Head Trauma Encephalomalacia refers to softening of the brain’s tissue due to hemorrhage or inflammation. It is one of the most serious types of brain injury. It can affect specific parts of the brain, or can be more widespread, and encephalomalacia can lead to complete dysfunction of the part of the brain that is affected. There are various subtypes of encephalomalacia, and it can affect any age group, and infants in utero. Leukoencephalomalacia affects the white matter of the brain, which is primarily the coating of the neurons, and polioencephalomalacia affects the neurons themselves, or the grey matter.

The calcified lung nodule: What does it mean? Small calcified lung nodules are often the result of dystrophic calcification in areas of injured lung.[10] Dystrophic calcification follows caseation, necrosis or fibrosis. Calcified nodules following infections are well defined and often measure 2-5 mm in diameter.

Agranulocytosis Print This Page. Agranulocytosis, also known as agranulosis or granulopenia, is a condition that occurs when the bone marrow (the soft tissue inside bones) fails to make enough white blood cells. This condition can cause a suppressed immune response to bacteria and other infections because white blood cells are a critical part of the human immune system.

Tuberculoma Tuberculomas or tuberculous granulomas are a well defined focal mass that results from Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection, and is one of several morphological forms of tuberculous disease.Tuberculomas occur most commonly in the brain (see: CNS tuberculosis) and the lung (see: pulmonary tuberculosis).acroscopically, a tuberculoma is a well defined firm nodule. Histologically it consists of a central core of caseating necrosis with a surrounding wall of a granulomatous reaction containing Langhans giant cells, epithelioid histiocytes and lymphocytes.

Encephalomalacia Encephalomalacia is a serious brain damage that occurs after a severe brain injury. In this condition brain tissue mainly parenchyma become soften and liquid. Encephalomalacia is the outcome of parenchyma tissue necrosis causes softening and liquefactive of the part of brain. This effect may happen at one part of the brain and then extends into adjacent tissues. Image 1: Encephalomalacia Brain is the major controlling organ of all the physiological activities.

Mesial Temporal Sclerosis They include the hippocampus and the amygdala. Sclerosis is abnormal hardening of tissue. Mesial temporal sclerosis is the scarring of the medial (middle or on the centerline of the body) temporal lobes of the brain. Scarring of the hippocampus is the most common form; this condition is called hippocampal sclerosis.

Soft Tissue Calcifications in the Neck: Maxillofacial CBCT Presentation and Significance In the craniofacial region, these calcifications can occur in the brain (e.g. calcification of choroid plexus, pineal gland, or dura mater), the temporomandibular joint synovial tissue (e.g. synovial chondromatosis), paranasal sinuses (e.g. antrolith), associated with maxilla and mandible (e.g. sialiliths) or in the neck and adjacent structures.

Brain Tumor A brain tumor is a collection, or mass, of abnormal cells in your brain. Your skull, which encloses your brain, is very rigid. Any growth inside such a restricted space can cause problems. Brain tumors can be cancerous (malignant) or noncancerous (benign). When benign or malignant tumors grow, they can cause the pressure inside your skull to increase.

- Calcification in the lungs can be caused by several different processes. The most common cause is calcification of granulomas, small scars within the lung tissue that are usually caused by infections. Over time these scars become calcified. They are usually benign (not cancerous) and do not cause any problems.
