Abstract
Case records of 223 patients with intracranial metastases admitted to the Wessex Neurological Centre between 1965 and 1976 were reviewed (table 33.1); each patient was assumed to have a solitary lesion at the time of referral. Supratentorial metastases were demonstrated by isotope scanning or carotid angiography and infratentorial metastases by air ventriculography. The general and neurological state of each patient was the main factor in deciding which form of management was used (table 33.2).
