[Multi-axial echoencephalography in the diagnostic system for brain tumors].

The authors examined 204 patients with tumors of the brain of supra- and subtentorial location. It is shown that multiaxial echoencephalography is simple and informative. The echographic criteria studied, whose changes are determined by the location and character of the tumor, are very important.

[Clinico-echoencephalographic correlations in the early diagnosis of traumatic intracranial hematomas and foci of brain crushing].

The authors examined 254 patients with closed trauma of the skull and brain. Besides clinical examination all patients were subject to unidimensional multiaxial echoencephalography with a modified ultrasonic probe and method of examination Three degrees of brain affection were distinguished according to the clinical signs and three degrees of compression according to the results of echoencephalography, the combination of which allows correct tactics of examination and treatment to be used in patients with severe closed trauma of the skull and brain within the first hours of hospitalization.
