A model for spasm of the anterior cerebral artery.
A model for production of spasm of the anterior cerebral artery in primates is presented. The model consists of injection of 0.35 cc of fresh blood into the chiasmatic cistern through the optic canal after orbital exenteration. Clinical and angiographical follow-up is possible. The clinical appraisal of acute and chronic changes can be accomplished in the awake animal.
