ABSTRACT
Cerebral arteriography was first introduced in Spain by Egax Monizs in 1927. In Ghana; carotid angiograms performed at the Korle-Bu Teaching Hospital between the mid sixties and the late seventies were done by non-radiologists. Cerebral angiography has been used for evaluation of intracranial mass lesions; patients with vascular abnormalities; transient ischaemic attacks; cerebrovascular accidents and for investigation of head injuries. The aim of the study is to review all the carotid angiograms of the last 10 years prior to the advent of CT scan in Ghana and also to form the basis for future research
