ABSTRACT
The effect of glycerol on blood flow in tumoral and peritumoral tissue was measured in 32 patients with brain tumor, 17 gliomas and 15 meningiomas. Blood flow before and after the administration of glycerol was measured by stable xenon-enhanced computed tomography. The tumor part of glioma was significantly hypoperfused. In contrast, the tumor part of meningioma was significantly hyperperfused. Peritumoral edema of both glioma and meningioma was hypoperfused. After the administration of glycerol, blood flow increased in all regions except for the tumor part of glioma. Vascular responses to glycerol may be different in these two tumor types. The steal phenomena of blood flow might occur in cases of glioma.
