Factors significant for cerebral circulacion in patients with supratentorial brain tumors

Abstract

Using the Doppler ultrasonography method the condition of brain blood circulation of 90 patients with supratentorial brain tumors (gliomas — 43, meningiomas — 34, metastasis — 9) during pre-surgical period wаз studied. The factors changing brain blood circulation at patients with with supratentorial brain tumors were brain displacement, increase of intracranial pressure, histologic structure and the first symptoms duration of illness. Localization (for an exception of an occipital lobe) and the size of a tumor directly didn’t render influence on blood circulation parameters.
