title: [Craniocerebral trauma and glioma].
abstract: There are only a few well documented cases in the literature which allow for the assumption of traumatic origin of some intracranial tumors. Four cases are presented in whom the authors have accepted the traumatic origin of gliomas because of it's evidence, but--from their scientific understanding of tumor development--without being convinced of such a correlation. It is stressed that scientific points of view and argumentation in social insurance affairs may differ and that they should be carefully distinguished.
