[Stroke-like course of brain tumors]

An analysis of 106 verified cases of brain tumours has been carried out. In one group of patients (51), a clinical picture of acute impairments of the blood circulation inside, in the vicinity and at the periphery of tumour is described. Specific features of the differential diagnosis of tumor and hemorrhagic stroke are presented. Some principles of the treatment of these patients are also offered. The other group (55 cases) has been studied to specify the differential diagnosis between brain tumour and ischemic stroke. The similarities and differences of the clinical picture in the tumour patients and in the control group patients with abnormal major vessels are outlined.
