Abstract

A clinica-psychological and pathoanatomical analysis of 40 observations with neoplasms of the brain in the left dominant hemisphere and 4 observations with neoplasms in the right subdominant hemisphere, has been carried out. In 36 cases, a desintegration in the language in a form of aphasia, has been established, while in 4 cases this was not present. In 22 observations the established neuro-psychological syndrome completely indicated and coincided with the localization of the neoplasm in the corresponding part or parts of the brain, in 10 it only partialy coincided, while in 4 cases it did not coincide with the localization of the neoplasm in the brain. The established neuro-psychological syndrome in observations with neoplasms in the right subdominant hemisphere possesses only a tentative topico-diagnostical significance. In conclusion the authors consider that the established syndromes of aphasia in patients with neoplasms of the brain may be of a considerable significance and help in substantiating a precise topical diagnosis.
