[Therapy of primary brain tumors with segidrin].

The results of segidrin administration to 46 patients with malignant and 6 patients with benign tumors of the brain are presented. Pronounced therapeutic effect for the whole group was 63.5% and 73%, if partial regression of neurologic symptoms in the entire brain and separate foci is considered.

[The surgical treatment procedure and results in multifocal epilepsy].

Various methods of surgical intervention were applied differentially in 116 patients with multifocal epilepsy. From analysis of the late-term results it was found that the cortical form of multifocal epilepsy is treated most effectively by open and the cortico-subcortical form--by combined operations (use of stereotaxis during an open operation). The most rational operations in bitemporal epilepsy are bilateral one-stage stereotaxic interventions on the mediobasal temporal structures or successive (at various intervals) performance of stereotaxic operation on one temporal lobe and open operation on the contralateral temporal lobe.

[Epidurography in lesions of the lumbar intervertebral disks].

Operations were carried out on 850 patients with neurological complications of lumbar osteochondrosis. Epidurography with 35-40% verografin solution was conducted before the operation in 795 patients. The method is described.

[Various aspects of the development of the problem of the diagnosis and surgery of cranio-cerebral injuries].

Modern principles of diagnosis and specific treatment of different kinds of cranio-cerebral traumas are elucidated on the basis of the authors' personal experience and literature data.
