Abstract

To report and discuss common neurologic problems in adults with brain tumors admitted for inpatient rehabilitation at an acute rehabilitation center. Retrospective, descriptive, case series of 51 consecutive adult patients (65% male), with a variety of tumor types (31.3% glioblastoma, 25.5% meningioma, and 25.5% metastatic). Outcome measures were the functional status as measured by the FIM scores, the length of rehabilitation stay, and discharge dispositions. The most common deficit was impaired cognition (80%), followed by weakness (78%), visual-perceptual deficit (53%), sensory loss (38%), and bowel and bladder dysfunction (37%). Less common problems, in decreasing incidence, were cranial nerve palsy, dysarthria, dysphagia, aphasia, ataxia, and diplopia. Thirty-eight (74.5%) patients had three or more concurrent neurologic deficits, and 20 (39.2%) patients had five or more deficits. Concurrent deficits among patients with hemi- and tetraparesis involved cognition (n = 29 patients), visual-perceptual function, sensation, cranial nerve palsy, and neurogenic bowel/bladder. The average admission FIM score of 67.2 increased to 87.1 at the time of discharge, with similar gains between patients with primary brain tumor and metastat...Continue Reading
