To explore the clinical and radiological presentation of pineal region tumors and evaluate management outcomes in a resource-limited setting.
Retrospective case series including 32 patients with pineal tumors from 2022 to 2024.
Clinical assessments included Glasgow coma scale and Karnofsky performance status measurements.
Management involved surgical excision, biopsy, and cerebrospinal fluid diversion.
Most common symptom was headache (87.5%).
On imaging, 90.6% showed hyperintensity on T2 weighted images.
Postoperative outcomes were favorable, with 93.7% maintaining a Glasgow coma scale of 13-15.
