[Psychiatric disorders in temporal lobe gliomas]
Abstract:
The rate of temporal lobe gliomas among all hemispheric gliomas is up to 1/3 cases. Psychiatric disorders are typical for temporal lesions and could be a single manifestation of the disease. There is a rich variety of different psychopathologic and epileptic signs exactly in cases of temporal gliomas in comparison to tumors with other localizations. Authors studied psychiatric disorders in a statistically significant group of patients (140 cases) with temporal lobe tumors. Side, localization, histology of lesion and functional asymmetry of patients (right- or left-handers) were taken into account. Psychiatric disorders were found in 74% of patients, mainly in cases of glioblastoma. Psychopathologic symptoms were more typical for left-sided lesions. The frequency of psychiatric disorders was significantly higher (p<0,05) in left-handers compared to right-handers. After surgical removal of tumor, the frequency of psychiatric disorders didn't differ significantly (p<0,05) by 2 years follow-up.
