Angiography in acute cerebral trauma

ABSTRACT

This paper presents a study of the use of angiography in acute intracranial hemorrhage resulting from trauma. Thirty-one cases were analyzed by correlating the clinical, angiographic and operative findings2. Cerebral angiography has distinct advantages in the diagnosis and management of acute post-traumatic intracranial hemorrhage. It serves to screen cases being considered for surgery and reduces the number of negative exploratory trephinations. It converts exploratory operations into well planned decisive craniotomy. It serves to anticipate trouble in the operative cases who remain quiescent. (Summary and Conclusions)
