Brain tumors 22 cases (right frontal GBM=5 cases, left frontal convexity GBM=3 cases, right parietal anaplastic astrocytoma grade II=5 cases, left parietal GBM=5 cases, cerebellar astrocytoma=4 cases), VP Shunt placement in hydrocephalus case=1 case, Sacral spinal tumor=1 case, Spinal syringomyelia=1 case (for placement of shunt), spinal conus ependymoma=1 case, thoracic intramedullary tumor=10 cases.
