Monoplegias^ and monopareses are not infrequent from small lesions,and in the beginning of the tumor growth. Th€ slow extension of theparesis or paralysis is of diagnostic moment. Advancing hemiplegiais often accompanied by the vasomotor phenomena seen in hemor-rhage—especially in deep-seated lesions. The usual signs of an organicparalysis (q. v.) are present. Psychical symptoms of general nature are not infrequent. Occa-sionally large tumors will cause a Korsakow syndrome.

The phenomena have been exten-sively described on p. 479, when speaking of sensory changes due tocortical and subcortical lesions.

Fig. 247.—Multiple sarcoma of brain. (Larkin.) Central convolution tumors are among those more readily localizable,and usually more accessible to operative relief. Parietal Lohes.—When the tumors press forward toward the pos-terior central lobes sensory signs are produced like those mentionedon p. 479. Left-sided tumors, in right-handed persons, especially ofthe inferior parietal lobes, cause cortical sensory aphasia of Wernicke LOCAL SYMPTOMS—TEMPORAL LOBE 505 of various grades. Alexia and agraphia may also be foviiid in left-sidedlesions. Epileptic attacks with hallucinatory auras of taste occur; also ageneral Korsakow syndrome may develop. Other pathwaj^s from thesensor)^ areas may be cut off by tumors in this region; hence eitherhemianopsias, optic agnosias or optical aphasias (gyrus angularis).Apractic disturbances are of value in localizing left-sided tumors.Katatonic syndromes, confusion, apathy, or general loss of orientationmay be encountered but are equally present in
