Neuropathology is the bane of many anatomical pathologists in teaching hospitals... 'cause they have to fill in for the neuropathologist when he or she is on vacation.

This article is an introduction to neuropathology. There are separate articles for brain tumours, the pituitary gland, the spine, the eye, muscle pathologies, neurohistology and neuroanatomy.

Neuroanatomy

Main article: Neuroanatomy

This is a large topic. It covered in a separate article, that also covers grossing.

Neuroradiology

Enhancing vs. non-enhancing:

  • If it is tumour... enhancing usu. high grade, non-enhancing usu. low grade.

Ring enhancing lesions

In HIV/AIDS patients... mass on CT if infection:
