Psychic findings of 266 patients suffering from cerebral tumor have been analysed. Psychopathological findings, therefore, were among the most frequent symptoms, at the same time being the second most frequent primary symptom after headache. Disturbance of consciousness and orientation were primarily an indication of malign tumors with increase in cerebral pressure whereas disturbance of motive and cognitive functions were more an indication of slowly growing tumors. Despite the same kind of tumors, same localisation and same duration of anamnesis psychic primary symptoms and disturbance of consciousness and orientation have been found considerably more frequently in older patients than in younger patients.
对266例脑肿瘤患者的精神状况进行了分析。精神病理学表现是最常见的症状之一，同时也是仅次于头痛的第二常见主要症状。意识和定向障碍主要提示恶性肿瘤伴颅内压升高，而运动和认知功能障碍更多提示生长缓慢的肿瘤。尽管肿瘤类型、部位相同且病史持续时间相同，但老年患者精神方面的主要症状以及意识和定向障碍的发生率明显高于年轻患者。
