[Vegetative disorders in the clinical picture of temporal lobe tumors]

Permanent and paroxysmal vegetative disorders were detected in 68,8% of the cases with temporal brain tumors. The intensity of the vegetative disorders was determined by intralobal localizations of the tumor, by the phase of the tumorous process and the histological structure of the neoplasm. Electrophysiological (rheographical) studies of cardiovascular changes detected in most cases marked to a varied extent regional cerebral and systemic disturbances of hemodynamics. Analysis of the cardiac activity demonstrated an increase in the physiological asynchronism of the systolic phases in the right and left ventricles, due to a pronounced disturbance of the right ventricle contractility.
