intraaxial

Intra-axial is a term that denotes lesions that are within the brain parenchyma, in contrast to extra-axial, which describes lesions outside the brain, and intraventricular, which denotes lesions within the ventricular system. Some authors include intraventricular lesions in the intra-axial group as most are lesions that arise from the brain parenchyma and grow exophytically into the ventricular system.

Examples of intra-axial lesions include:

• neoplasm
  • primary
    • glioblastoma (GBM)
    • astrocytoma
    • primary CNS lymphoma
    • ganglioglioma
    • oligodendroglioma
  • cerebral metastases
• infection
  • cerebral abscess
  • neurocysticercosis
• intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH)
