| Article Title: | Phenobarbital rheumatism in patients with brain tumor |
| Abstract: | 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 shoulder‐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.
