title: [Disorders of higher mentae functions as first symptoms in patients with brain tumors].
abstract: It has been established that in 29 (or 36,25%) of examined patients with neoplasms of the brain in the left dominant hemisphere, disturbances in the psychic functions seem to be the first and most early symptoms of the disease. They develop slowly, progressively, or in the form of epileptic language equivalents (in 5% of examined patients). As early symptoms, disturbances in language indicate existance of a brain disease and give cause to suspect a neoplasm, in this way stating the necessity of further examination, and from the other side - in some cases show the localization of the process.
