[Digital subtraction angiography in the diagnosis of emergency neurosurgical states]
Abstract
Digital subtraction angiography (DSA) was used in the examination of 203 patients with various forms of acute diseases and injuries of the brain. The method of the examination is described and its advantages and shortcomings in each type of pathology are revealed. DSA meets the requirements placed upon angiographic examination of patients with acute diseases of the brain and craniocerebral injury and may be used successfully in the diagnosis of emergency neurosurgical conditions.
