A scanning electron microscopy study of vascular casts from senile human brains.
A scanning electron microscope study was performed of vascular casts from 26 senile human brains. In 15 of these, three types of arterial deformities (glomerular loop formations, vascular wickerworks and bundles) were frequently encountered. They were compared with the appearance in microangiograms and histological sections.
