title: [Analysis of intracranial aneurysms from autopsy material].
abstract: The analysis of 44 intracranial aneurysms found at 7.687 autopsies is performed. The largest number of aneurysms was of congenital (secular) type, then, of arteriosclerotic type while inflammatory and traumatic aneurysms were very rare. The elastic and reticular fibres in the aneurysmal wall and the normal arteries of the base of the brain were identified by a standard and special staining. Significantly decreased quantity and disturbed distribution of the reticular fibres were found in the congenital aneurysms which was considered to be a consequence of degenerative processes. The finding of the preserved elastic internal lamina in the wall of the congenital aneurysm and its absence or fragmentation in cases of arteriosclerotic aneurysms suggest the different etiology and pathogenesis of these aneurysms.
