Objectives:
At the end of this session, participants will be able to:

- differential diagnosis based on patient’s age/tumors location and correlate their differential with frozen section diagnosis
- Recognize basic developmental malformations, vascular malformation, causes of intracerebral hemorrhage, toxic effects of the CO/methanol poisoning, metabolic abnormalities, pathologic findings and common CNS infections, demyelinating disease.
- Diagnose and grade common brain/SC tumors
Presentation will give a brief introduction to anatomy. There will be molecular updates in CNS tumors specified in 2016 WHO Classification of Brain Tumors.
