Abstract
Background: The annual incidence of CNS tumours range from 10-17 per 1,00,000 persons for intracranial tumors. Gliomas are the most common
primary intracranial tumours and are of 3 types: Astrocytoma, ependymoma and oligodendroglioma. Glioblastoma, most frequently occurs in older
age group whereas in children, pilocytic astrocytoma is most frequently found. The aim of this study is to analyse the age, sex and location wise
distribution of CNS tumours and to study the histomorphological ndings of these tumours. T Methodology: his is a retrospective study done in a
tertiary care hospital of north east India for a period of 1 year (2020-2021). All total of 52 cases were studied and analysed by histopathological
examination. The mean age of the patient presented with CNS tumours was 32.77 Results: years. Out of 52 cases, 11 cases were found in children
and 41 cases were of adult population. The overall male to female ratio was 1.4:1. In this study, Astrocytomas were found to be more common in
males in both paediatric and adult population, whereas Meningioma was more common in females in case of adult population. Intracranial location
was the most common location (96.2%) for the CNS tumours observed in this study. This Conclusion: study gives the current scenario of
histopathological aspects of different CNS tumours as encountered in a tertiary care hospital of North east India
