Abstract: The authors believe that the pathological feature of primary and secondary intracranial tumor is deficiency complicated by excess,the former being mainly caused by deficiency of the liver and kidney and accumulation of wind-phlegm and the latter being due to deficiency of qi and yin and hyperactivity of toxin.In treatment,it is advisable to combine syndrome differentiation with disease differentiation,distinguish between the acute symptoms and the primary causes,and give prescriptions according to different syndromes.The authors hold that the therapeutic principle is simultaneous application of purging-tonifying therapy to remove toxin and improve life quality.Clinical researches on the standardization and systemization of the treatment of the disease should be carried out.
