[The value of computer tomography in the diagnosis of encephalomalacic foci]

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.
