Narrowing and occlusion of arteries by intracranial tumors. Review of the literature and report of 25 cases.

The intracranial arterial obstructions (narrowing or occlusion) found with intracranial tumors are rarely reported. Our 25 cases and those of the literature enable us to draw a statistical view of these facts. Meningiomas and gliomas are often concerned, and they principally involve the main arteries at the base of the brain. The practical interest in such pathology concerns: the risk of a fall in blood pressure during general anesthesia which may result in occlusion of a narrowed artery; the need to estimate the pathological state of one or several arteries passing by a tumor which must be removed; and the possibility of providing an extra-intracranial arterial bypass if necessary.

[Cerebrovascular accidents and oral contraceptives (reflections a propos of 36 observations)].

Thirty-six cases of cerebro-vascular accidents in young women using oral contraceptives have been studied and a survey of the literature devoted to the subject gives an opportunity to discuss a few problems related with these accidents. They occur with no evident relationship with the type of drug used, and the duration of treatment; in 66 p. 100 of the cases these patients have a definite and sometimes severe pathological history prior to the neurological accident. The cerebro-vascular accidents are of the ischemic type in more than 80 p. 100 of the cases. Angiographic studies demonstrate various types of lesion: stenosis or thrombosis of the arteries; in almost all of the cases the internal carotid artery or the sylvian artery or both of them are concerned; the angiogram appeared normal in 8 cases.
