Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of Hypertonic Saline 7.5% vs Mannitol 20% on brain bulk (using a 4 point scale), intracranial pressure (subdural catheter)and the changes on serum and urinary Na, K and Osmolarity during elective craniotomy for brain tumor resection.
