title: [Prognosis of brain death in the surgical treatment of supratentorial glial tumors].
abstract: Results are presented of prognostication of death of the brain in surgical treatment of 1056 patients with glioma of supratentorial localization. Prognostically unfavourable factors for development of vital disturbances are determined, the main ones being advanced age, low quality of life before surgery, vascular and hypertensive type of the disease course, high degree anaplasia, the ability of the tumor to store a contrast, deep localization of the tumor, its partial resection. Predominance of the sum of unfavourable signs over favourable ones suggested to us a high risk of operation which came to be lower with the use of microsurgical techniques.
