title: Abnormal cerebral vasomotor response in patients with brain tumors.
abstract: In 37 patients with intracranial tumros, regional cerebral blood flow was measured. The typical abnormalities are described and an attempt is made to correlate the blood flow with the histologic type of tumor. Moreover, the deranged cerebral vasomotor responses are demonstrated when the flow is measured during functional tests. The practical value of the method in patients with brain tumors is discussed.
