title: [Meningiomas from the clinical viewpoint of first symptoms, duration of anamnesis and neurologic-ophthalmologic deficiency symptoms].
abstract: First symptoms, period of case history, neurological findings and ophthalmological findings were evaluated in 123 patients operated on because of meningiomas. Typical first symptoms were headache (42%), fits (30%) and impaired vision (28%). 70 per cent of the patients showed a case history period of up to two years, 11 per cent one of more than five years. In 25 per cent this period was less than six months. In two cases the symptoms set in an acute form. Paresis was found in cases of meningiomas of the falx convexity region. A papilledema was found in 41 per cent, reflex differences in 30 per cent and hemiparesis in 13 per cent of the patients.
  
  
  METHODS
  parasagittal (28 patients), falx (10 patients), convexity (31 patients), tentorium (6 patients), posterior cranial fossa (4 patients). Neither a short period of the case history nor the absence of neurological and ophthalmological changes can exclude a meningioma.
