Abstract

The author cites the results of his observations on 200 patients with brain tumors; in all these cases, the clinical diagnosis was confirmed at autopsy or surgery. The article is provided with 13 tables containing numerical data.

The author's conclusions are as follows: Tumors which exert constant pressure on the chiasm or on the nervus opticus cause primary pressure atrophy, without a preceding stage of papillary edema.
