title: [ACTH therapy and peritumoral oedema (author's transl)].
abstract: Out of the various drugs which may be used in the treatment of intracramial hypertension we have tested long-acting Synacthen (Synacthen-dépot) in patients with inoperable cerebral tumours. The results were favourable, especially in the case of long-term treatment, since the delayed action of the drug allows flexible application while ensuring significant comfort for the patient.
