We reviewed the charts of 429 patients with primary brain tumors treated at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center to determine the frequency, clinical characteristics,and provocative factors involved in the development of the should-hand syndrome.Five percent(20/429)of patients developed this syndrome,which was strongly associated with phenobarbital use(p<0.0001)and often produced more short-term disability than the brain tumor itself. |
