  • Title: [Diagnosis and differential diagnosis of cerebro-vascular malformations by CT (author's transl)].
    Author: Schumacher M, Stoeter P, Voigt K.
    Journal: Radiologe; 1980 Mar; 20(3):91-104. PubMed ID: 7394182.
    Abstract:
    In 38 patients, the diagnosis of a cerebrovascular malformation (17 arteriovenous agniomas including one low-flow- and two venous angiomas; 10 aneurysms; 4 arteriovenous fistulae of the cavernous sinus, the tentorium and one of the Great Vein of Galen; 6 megadolical basilar arteries) was initially made by computertomographic (CT) examination, including contrast enhancement. The characteristic and pathognomonic CT findings are described and compared with those of cerebral angiography also done in these cases. The problems of differential diagnosis and the reasons for a false CT diagnosis in 5 other patients with a cerebro-vascular malformation are investigated; and the diagnostic value of cerebral angiography and CT is discussed and their complementary functions are being pointed out.
