CEREBRAL BLOOD FLOW IN BRAIN TUMOR CASES

Department of Surgery, Keio-University School of Medicine Ichio KUDO |
We have studied the cerebral blood flow in 16 cases of brain tumors by the N2O-method of Kety-Schmidt.
From the results of these studies, we have noticed in general a moderate cerebral blood flow, an increase of cerebro-vascular resistance and a slight decrease of metabolic rate, but not always similar in different kinds and different locations of the tumors.
We have also noticed a marked improvement of these results after successful operation of the brain tumors.
Simultaneously, we also have studied these cases from the standpoint of cerebro-spinal pressure increase.
