INTRODUCTION: Brain tumour (BT) is a tremendous burden on patients, families as well as the surrounding communities, especially the healthcare services. It can be classified into either a benign slow growing tumour (non-cancerous) and malignant tumour (cancerous). The purpose of this study was to determine the incidence and pattern of brain tumour admitted to the Neurosurgery Department in Hospital Sultanah Nurzahirah (HSNZ), Terengganu, Malaysia.
METHODS: This is a retrospective study of incidence and pattern of BT admitted to the Neurosurgery Department in HSNZ. Data was collected from the yearly census of BT registered from 2013 to 2018.
RESULTS: A total number of 386 new cases of primary BT were registered. The number of cases of BT was found to be lowest among children (0 to 10 years old) with only 4.4% but at peak among elderly aged between 51 to 60 years old (26.2%). As for gender, males constituted about 44.5% (n=172) whereas females accounted for 55.5% (n= 214) of the cases. In total, meningioma was found to have the highest incidence (27.2%) followed by metastases brain tumour (18.1%) and glioma (17.4%).
CONCLUSIONS: This study has shown that the incidence of BT was led by meningioma which had a high prevalence among the elderly population, followed by metastasis BT and gliomas.
