Abstract
In a recent publication (3) we analysed all the proven cases of intracranial angioma which had been examined by computerised axial tomography (C.A.T.) and also all those cases in which a proven C.A.T. diagnosis of angioma had been made, using a 160 × 160 matrix EMI head scanner at The National Hospital, Queen Square, since December, 1974. We have added a further 10 cases, bringing the total number of angiomas in our series examined by C.A.T. to 50, and present a review of the value and limitations of C.A.T. in the diagnosis and management of angiomatous malformations based on this series and on cases reported in the literature.
