All cases were explored surgically, and diagnosis of tumor was made through histological examination. Of 30 cases of intracranial tumors 8 cases of glioma, 5 cases of metastatic tumor, meningioma and acoustic neuroma, respectively were found. We have studied those cases through clinical and Laboratory aspect, including the C.S.F. analysis and intracranial angiography in comparison with previous reports.
