Alkhalili K, et al. - In this study, the utility of pre-planned early post-operative CT scans (EPOCTs) after elective craniotomy for brain tumor resection is analyzed. As per findings, for patients undergoing brain tumor resection, routine EPOCTs aren’t indicated if the post-operative neurologic exam is unchanged/expected, as they are unlikely to change the management. Researchers recommend obtaining EPOCT in all patients with worrisome changes in exam or non-reliable exams, as both groups have high rates of unexpected findings on imaging that lead to management changes.
