Summary

200 cases of proven intracranial tumour have been analysed. It appears that in a case of probable raised intracranial, pressure, the changes in the pituitary fossa are more frequently diagnostic of pressure, than examination of the retina. The highest incidence occurs with temporal lobe tumours. — Benign tumours account for the largest number with fossa changes.-14.0% of all tumours had a normal sella.

Résumé

Les auteurs on étudié 200 cas de malades présentant une tumeur intracrânienne vérifiée., Ils ont trouvé qu'en cas de suspicion d'hypertension intracrânienne, les modifications dans la fosse pituitaire sont plus révélatrices de l'augmentation de pression que l'examen du, fond d'oeil. L'incidence la plus élevée apparaît dans les tumeurs du lobe temporal. On observe surtout les modifications de la selle dans les tumeurs bénignes. Dans 14% de toutes les tumeurs, la selle turcique était normale.

Zusammenfassung

200 Fälle von bewiesenen. Intrakranial-Tumoren sind analysiert worden. Es scheint, daß. in dem Fall von wahrscheinlich ergebenem Intrakranialdruck, die Veränderungen in der Hypophysengrube öfters diagnostisch vom Druck sind, als die Beobachtungen von der Netzhaut. Das höchste Vorkommen erscheint mit ständigen Schläfenlappentumoren.-Gutartige Tumoren zählen zum größten Teil zu Hypophysengrubeveränderungen.-14% von allen Tumoren hatten eine normale Sella Turcica.
