| dc.description.abstract | A review of 185 patients referred for cerebral
angiography in Kenya and from neighbouring countries
has been presented. Angiographic findings have been
enumerated, discussed and compared with similar series
from here in Kenya in 1963 at King George VI Jubilee
Hospital, from Uganda, Mulago Hospital and from
non-African countries.
The commonest indication for the investigation was
head injury. The most common angiographic abnormality
was haematoma formation, no doubt due to the high
incidence of trauma amongst the population. A high
percentage (34.6%) of patients where this diagnosis was
made recovered after surgical evacuation of the
haematoma. Arterial diseases and tumour formation are
not rare amongst the African population. | en |
