[Clinical aspects of cerebral metastases (author's transl)].
Cerebral metastases are the most common intracranial tumors next to the malignant glioblastoma multiforme. The clinical aspects are described in summary with reference to 191 cases. At least 1/3 of the cerebral metastases are already multiple on diagnosis. The daughter tumors most frequently colonize in the cerebrum - in the centroparietal region in particular - and much more seldom in the cerebellum. Bronchial and mammary carcinomata are the most important primary tumors; melanomas and hypernephromas come next in frequency. The primary tumor escapes clinical detection relatively frequently. The first symptoms are most frequently signs of cerebral pressure. Of the local symptoms of cerebral metastases, the hemi-syndrome occupies first place.
