Advances in medicine comprising diverse diagnostic and management modalities call for a bundle approach to improve patient care. This study aimed to present diagnostic patterns in patients with multiple intracranial lesions together with connoted survival implications. We retrospectively reviewed medical files of 85 patients with tumor and non-tumor intracranial lesions. Metastatic brain lesions were identified in 23.5% of patients. Neurological pathogenesis underlay 29.4%, infectious 21.2%, and vascular 14.1% of lesions, with the remaining portion comprising less frequent disorders. A favorable prognosis was predicted in 52/85 (61.2%) of the study population despite a variety of pathologies, which speaks for substantial improvements in outcomes of once hardly manageable or mortal brain disorders, comprising both common and rare conditions. The improvements are to the credit of advances in medical radio-imaging enhancing the diagnostic power which enables a precise stratification of brain pathologies. We emphasize the use of an algorithmic evaluation of patients presenting with multiple brain lesions for differential diagnosis and survival prognostication. There seems to be an ongoing transition from imperfect probabilistic prediction models to precision medicine, which determines advantages in disease management and outcome.
