Abstract
During recent years, clinical interest in the stroke syndrome has continued to increase. As a result, more attention has been paid to spontaneous bleeding due to intracranial tumors. Although bleeding in neoplasm was blamed for a sudden deterioration of the patients’ condition, CUSHING’s opinion, that “severe bleeding in a tumor is an extremely rare occurrence” (3) long remained the prevalent opinion. For autopsy series, the figures given in the relevant literature vary between 0.8% (1, 16, 20) and 10.2% (8, 15). With regard to the types of spontaneous intracranial hemorrhage treated in neurosurgical clinics, the incidence of tumor bleeding lies between 0% (9) and 11% (6, 17). In a series of 236 intracranial tumors, DRAKE and McGee (3) found 18 cases (7.6%) of tumor bleeding.
