Background: The incidence of Central Nervous System tumors is low in India when compared to western countries. Now a days, the increase in incidence may be due to improved diagnosis with advancement of studies. They have a wide spectrum clinically and histopathologically.  Aims And Objectives: This study aims to provide the spectrum of CNS tumors histologically and clinically, along with radiological correlation,To analyse  various histological types of Cranial and spinal tumors ,to evaluate age and gender distribution and topography of tumors. Materials And Methods: A retrospective study was performed in the department of pathology, for a period of 18 months.The data and Hematoxylin and Eosin stainedslides were retrieved from the archives, the cases were analysed and graded according to 2021WHO grading system. Results And Conclusion: out of 76 CNS tumors, most common were Intracranialtumors 85.5% (65) cases and Spinal tumors were 14.4% (11) cases. There is male preponderance, 44 cases (57.8%)Majority were in 45 to 60 years. Tumors were more common on right side, 61% (47 cases) and most common location was cerebellopontine angle 13.1.% (10 cases) followed by frontal region 11.8% (9 cases). The most common histological type were Astrocytomas, followed by Meningiomas. WHO Grade I tumors are more common, 24.6% followed by Grade II, 21.7%. Most common tumors  inchildren were Medulloblastomas (Grade IV). Three cases ofsecondary deposit from epithelial malignancy were also included in the study.
