Surgical treatment is rarely considered when an intracranial metastasis is suspected, even when the primary tumour has previously been excised. We present here a study of the 389 patients with secondary intracranial tumours seen at this hospital in the years 1946-60, inclusive, in an attempt to evaluate the possibilities for useful surgical treatment and to illustrate the unpredictable behaviour of some tumours.
