In the treatment of brain tumors, the correct establishment of differentials is especially important. and local tumor diagnosis. The author dwells in particular detail on the diagnostic signs of tumors in various parts of the brain. A local diagnosis can sometimes be made with absolute certainty, for example. with tumors in the central gyrus, in the middle and posterior cranial fossa and in the bridge, sometimes it is impossible, for example. with tumors in the right temporal region or frontal (right) lobe. In some cases, the diagnosis is clarified by a trial puncture according to Neisser-Pollak. It is important for the treatment to clarify the properties of the tumor, but unfortunately the clinical picture rarely provides a basis for this.
