Perioperative imaging of elective craniotomy and removal of left frontal mass. A) peroperative plain CT brain showed left frontoparietal subcortical hypodense lesion with central hyperdensity causing mass effect and compression on adjacent structures (arrow). B,C) Axial and sagittal peroperative MRI showing the same lesion, hyperintense on T2 weighted images (arrows). D) routine postoperative CT brain showing surgical site hematoma with compression on ipsilateral body of left lateral ventricle (arrow), causing midline shift.
