Imagings of Skull Vault Lesions

Lesions of the skull vault are often incidentally encountered during in plain radiography, CT, and MR imaging of the brain and benign lesions are more common than primary malignancies.

The aim of this essay is to describe a wide range of cranial lesions and to illustrate their distinguishing features.
