RESUMO
The authors analysed 1468 internal carotid angiograms including 945 performed in patients with strokes and 523 with brain tumours. Three phases were evaluated: arterial, middle and venous, directing attention to brain venous system filling in the arterial phase. Carotid arteriography carried out within 14 days after stroke onset visualizes early filling of the veins and this sign may be helpful in localizing the site of brain damage.

The authors report a comparative analysis of the results of angiographic investigations and computer tomography in patients with clinical manifestations of stroke. Attention is called to the accuracy of the information obtained in computer tomography with regard to the extent of focal encephalomalacia and stage of evolution. Signs are described making possible differentiation between vasogenic lesions and other pathological processes of identical or similar features in computer tomography.

This report concerns a case of dolichoectasia of the anterior cerebral artery. The authors present the angiographic and scintigraphic pictures. The clinical symptoms were connected with ischaemia in the region supplying by the anterior cerebral artery and seemed to indicate expanding process.
