title: [The clinical and radiological picture of degenerative disease of the extra- and intra-cranial vessels (author's transl)].
abstract: The clinical and angiograms of 500 patients with degenerative disease of their cerebral vessels were evaluated. The clinical severity of the ischaemic changes was graded and compared with localisation and extent of the angiographic abnormality. In these patients there is an increased risk during angiography and a careful technique has to be employed. Two examples are used to show that it is possible to clarify even complex neurological and angiographic problems by means of an appropriate technique, 90% of our patients with a definite cerebral infarct gave a history of previous transitory ischaemic attacks. In our opinion patients with these attacks are of particular interest to the angiographer and the surgeon.
