title: [Can psychiatric examination be useful in early diagnosis of intracranial expansion processes?].
abstract: The authors carried out pilot investigations of the role of basic psychiatric examination, paying special attention to psychiatric evaluation of anamnestic data in the early recognition of intracranial expansion processes (intracranial tumors). The investigations show that psychiatric diagnostic is not sufficiently effective in the case of intracranial tumors. Despite rich symptomatology of the advanced disease processes, the early symptoms are ambiguous and "litle alarming". What occurs earlier is the "strong" neurological symptoms that can be verified with the use of more and more accessible techniques (mainly neuropicturing).
