[Somatogenic toxic-circulatory encephalopathies with pseudotumorous course].

A progredient course of cerebral circulatory disorders in grave-condition somatic patients may present a clinical picture of toxic dyscirculatory encephalopathy with brain symptoms of mass lesions. Pseudotumorous run of a chronic vascular process requires a sound clinical analysis and adjuvant methods of examination to rule out primary tumor or brain metastases.

Under examination there were patients admitted for this disease to a city hospital within a 5-year period.
