In order to assess the characteristics of brain swelling due to infarction, 322 angiograms in patients with cerebral infarction have been reviewed. The rate of incidence of swelling related to time from onset, sequential angiographic changes, and factors contributing to the phenomenon are presented. Some clinical and differential diagnostic aspects are discussed.
