Abstract

The actual occurrence of tumor of the brain is relatively rare. Yet disturbance of the special senses, of mentality, of motion, of speech, of sensation, of equilibration, of metabolism and of growth, and the development of various dyscrinisms and of symptoms such as pain in the head and convulsions are frequent. Therefore, consideration of tumors of the brain in differential diagnosis is common, especially if the phenomena mentioned are insidious and progressive. Tumors of the brain are neither precise nor consistent in the phenomena they produce. The great variations in the biodynamic characteristics of tumors, as exemplified by the mode of progress, the rate of growth and the direction of extension, bring about sequential relationships of almost infinite variation. Examination of the eyes affords significant data both in diagnosis and in localization of tumors of the brain. As this consideration presumes the integrity of the end-organ, it is the duty
