Summary
Neuroradiologic findings of 27 cases of “multiple progressive intracranial arterial occlusion (Taveras)” are reported. The cause of stenotic process remains uncertain, but the disease in all probability is an acquired one and not a congenital dysplasia. Narrowing of the cervical internal carotid artery is secondary to a decreased blood flow. Deep central vascular network represents extraordinarily developed collateral channels.
Résumé
Les auteurs rapportent les caractéristiques neuro-radiologique dans 27 cas d'occlusions multiples et progressives des artères intra-crâniennes (Taveras). L'origine du processus sténosant reste incertaine, mais la maladie est vraisemblablement acquise et non une dysplasie congénitale. Le rétrécissement de l'artère carotide interne cervicale est secondaire à und diminution du flux sanguin. Les artères profondes représentent un extraordinaire réseau de circulation collatérale.
Zusammenfassung
Es werden die Untersuchungsbefunde von 27 Patienten geschildert, bei denen eine arterielle cerebrale Verschlußkrankheit vorlag. Die pneumoencephalographischen Befunde, die angiographischen Befunde und die Veränderungen an den verschiedenen Gefäßabschnitten werden im einzelnen wiedergegeben. Die Verfasser kommen dabei zu der Ansicht, daß es sich bei dieser Erkrankung nicht um ein angeborenes, sondern um ein erworbenes Leiden handelt.
