Abstract
Since the advent of computerized tomography (CT) in 1973, the importance of cerebral angiography in the evaluation of head trauma has been greatly reduced. Cranial CT very reliably detects intracranial hematomas of recent origin, it also clearly differentiates intracerebral hemorrhage from brain edema (4, 7, 8, 9). The vascular injury, however, which caused the hematoma, can only be demonstrated angiographically, if at all. In certain cases, e.g., where the larger caliber vessels at the base of the brain are injured, angiography provides detailed information not obtainable from CT studies. The same is true for intracranial AV fistulas and aneurysms of traumatic origin (6). In order to classify vascular injuries which could be recognized on the angiograms and find out the relative frequencies of the various types of lesions, we reviewed the head injury cases of a large general hospital.
