Objective To study the attention dysfunction of postoperative glioma patients.Methods Attention network test (ANT),digital span (DS),color trail test Ⅱ (CTT Ⅱ) and stroop test (ST) were used to detect the characteristics of attention function of 45 postoperative glioma patients,admitted to our hospital from January 2010 to January 2012 and 18 healthy controls.The relations of attention dysfunction with tumor localization,malignancy and postoperative recovery time were analyzed.Results As compared with that in the control group,orientation network dysfunction was detected in parietal lobe tumor group,with significant difference (P＜0.05); as compared with patients with low grade rumors (grade Ⅰ-Ⅱ),the patients with high grade tumors (grade Ⅲ-Ⅳ) had significantly lower scores in backward recite test,longer time in digital color connection test and higher word color naming interference value,enjoying significant differences (P＜0.05).No significant relation was observed between postoperative recovery time and attention impairment (P＞0.05); Conclusion The frontal and parietal lobe glioma patients suffer attention dysfunction and the high-grade glioma patients have more seriously impairment in attention,attention switching effect and selective attention ability than the low-grade ones.
