title: [Morphometric study on the sudanophilic lesions of arterial intima in young adults].
abstract: Sudanophilic lesions (SL) of the aortic intima and right coronary artery (RCA) in 129 and 113 cases respectively were calculated by image analyses. The age ranged from 15 to 34. The probability-of-occurrence-map of aortic SL was higher at the area around the orifices of the arterial branching sites and at the posterior wall of the aorta, lower at the lateral wall and least in the ventrical wall. The prevalence of SL occurred in the RCA was lower which was also less in severity and showed a positive correlation with the lesion developed at the aortic intima.
