  • Title: [Functions of the adrenal cortex in patients with supratentorial brain tumors and their prognostic value for surgical intervention].
    Author: Brodskaia NI, Oliushin VE, Andrianova MV, Nikulenko EL.
    Journal: Zh Vopr Neirokhir Im N N Burdenko; 1977; (1):41-7. PubMed ID: 190835.
    Abstract:
    The functional activity of the adrenal cortex was studied pre- and postoperatively in patients with pituitary adenomas, craiopharyngiomas and supratentorial meningiomas. With the hypothalamus function preserved, the patients developed varying degrees of stress-responses in the postoperative period. Severe morphological injuries to the hypothalamus make the normal response to surgical trauma impossible. With some functional centers preserved, the diencephalo-catabolic syndrome develops. Severe injuries of the diencephalon, with its adaptative function completely lost, result in the development of the diencephalic areactive syndrome.
