Interstitial microwave brain hyperthermia was reviewed with several comments on the implantable microwave antenna and treatment planning. Results of the phase-I clinical trials were briefly summarized. Further Studies would be necessory to develop the system for controlling the individual antenna power independently by the each thermometry information, to accumulate the basic data for planning and simulation of the treatment, and to make the clinical protocol for combination therapy of hyperthermia and radiation and/or chemotherapy.

Correlations between changes in wave V of the auditory brain-stem response, intracranial pressure, and neurological signs of uncal herniation as graded by Plum and Posner were investigated in 12 patients with supratentorial mass lesion. In three of the five patients who later showed signs of uncal herniation, the latency of wave V, which presumably originated in the inferior colliculus, was already significantly prolonged. In 6 cases which progressed to the early third nerve stage of uncal herniation, the latency of wave V was prolonged in 5 cases. In 7 cases which progressed to the late third nerve stage or worse, the latency was prolonged in 6 cases and suppressed in one. In four of six attempts (three cases), lowering of the intracranial pressure by 10% glycerol solution resulted in normalization of the latency of wave V without clinical improvement. These results strongly indicate that measurement of wave V can predict the beginning of uncal herniation and can assess the effectiveness of medical or surgical decompression on brain-stem function.
