  • Title: [Early diagnosis of tumors of the 4th ventricle and the craniospinal transitional zone].
    Author: Goldhahn G.
    Journal: Zentralbl Neurochir; 1983; 44(3):241-3. PubMed ID: 6637258.
    Abstract:
    The comprehensive observation material from the OPD and the Hospital for Neurosurgery of the Leipzig Karl-Marx-University has made it possible to make statements on frequency, on the succession and the valence of the diagnosis from a neurological angle for the tumours mentioned in the title. Their differentiation with regard to the respective region and the two essential age groups was carried out. Although quite typical symptom groups can be established for the early and the main diagnosis, the majority of these syndromes are either overlooked or misinterpreted in practice. In this connection, both wrong assessment by the laymen, that is, the late consultation of a doctor, and medical misinterpretation because of the percentual rarity as compared to other causes of some of these symptoms play the essential role. The objective of the compilation is a renewed pointing out of the possibility of an early recognition of tumours with such a localisation by neurological means.
