  • Abstract
  • Look Inside

This review is based on 287 patients with gliomas in the cerebral hemisphere which accounted for 21.6% of all primary intracranial tumors which verified histologically and 57.1% of all intracranial gliomas in our clinic for the period from 1941 to 1965 (Table 2, 5).

Of these, 50 were children below 15 years and 237 were above 15 years. Gliomas, primarily located at optic chiasma, within the third ventricle or in the pineal region, are not included. The following facts were obtained.

1) Cerebral hemisphere gliomas accounted for 74% of all intracranial gliomas in adults, whereas only 28% in children (Table 4).

2) In adults, glioblastoma multiforme accounted for 53% of all gliomas and ependymoma was far less in occurrence (about 7%). In children, however, the incidence of ependymoma (32%) was more fre-quent than glioblastoma multiforme (18%) (Fig. 1).

3) Gliomas were predominantly distributed in the frontal lobe in adults and equally involved in the frontal, parietal, and temporal lobes in children (Fig. 3).

4) Gliomas often developed in an enormous size without obvious increase of intracranial pressure in children, and 40% of juvenile cases occupied two or more lobes at the time of operation (Table 7).

5) Life expectancy after surgical removal of astro-cytoma was generally better in children that in adults, because of possibly higher occurrence in malignant changes of astrocytoma in adults than in children (Table 10).

6) Prognosis of glioblastoma multiforme was worse in children than in adults, and the prognosis of juvenile cases with tumors in the parietal lobe was relatively better (Table 6, 11).
