[Computed tomography and angiography in the evaluation of intracranial angiomas (author's transl)]

Angiographic results in 31 intracranial angiomas and CT-findings in 22 of this group were evaluated. Precise angiographic analysis remains the basis for planning and execution of neurosurgical therapy, even in the era of CT. Nevertheless, vascular malformations of all types seldom escape detection with CT. CT has also made possible extremely accurate diagnosis of larger malformations. It has provided an unprecedented wealth of information regarding hematoma, subarachnoidal hemorrhage, edema, infarction and atrophy. Scans both with and without injection of contrast material are essential for comparative purposes.
