Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Correlation between pre-operative radiological features and definitive histopathological diagnosis.

To evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of pre-operative magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) by determining the percentage of cases where pre-operative radiological features match the definitive post-operative histopathological classification (e.g., pituitary adenoma, craniopharyngioma, meningioma).
