counted about (19.4%) of studed patients while Malignant assessed about (80.6%). Meningioma represent the most
prevalente type: 24(35%) ,Gliomas 16 (24%) :{Astrocytoma 10 (15%) , Ependymoma 4(6%) and Oligodendroglioma 2
(6%)}, Glioblastoma multy form (GBM) 14(21%) ,Schwannoma 5(7%), Germinoma 3(5%) and Medulloma 2(3%), And

more of viruses (61%) as the following [ HCMV(52%) , HHV-6 29(43%) and HHV-7 20(29%)].Super infections
