Extract

Symptoms of mental disorder are common in cases with cerebral tumours and malformations. Progressive dementia, clouding of consciousness and personality changes make their appearance sooner or later. They have been understood as the result of interference with cerebral functions. However, there are patients in whom the relationship between cerebral lesions and mental disorder is obscure. They present conditions not usually associated with demonstrable structural changes, and the coexistence of mental and physical symptoms appears purely accidental, both running their course independently.
