Abstract

The clinical picture is dealt with on the basis of seven cases of primarily recognised non-Hodgkin's lymphomas in the CNS treated by us. Because of the frequently serious initial situation immediate surgical intervention can on the one hand improve or remove the paralysis and, on the other, it will lead to histological diagnosis. Elderly patients with a lower degree of malignity show a better prognosis.
