LÆKNABLAÐIÐ 9 Myndatakan leiddi þá í ljós, að hjá öllum sjúklingunum var áberandi meira rennsli, en iijá einum nánast eðiilegt. Hjá sjúklingi þeim, sem nú hefur verið lýst, leiddi endur- tekin æðamyndataka fjórum mánuðum eftir slysið í ljós eðli- legt rennsli (3. og 4. mynd). Þvkir mér sennilegast, að lok- unin á cerebri media hjá þessum sjúklingi liafi stafað af mjög miklum krampa i carolis interna og cerebri media, eins og sjá má á æðamyndum. Ef um „dissecting aneurysma“ eða æðastíflu hefði verið að ræða, hcfði honum varla batnað, eins og raun bar vitni. Alls ekki er óalgengt að sjá hjá sjúklingum, sem fengið bafa höfuðáverka og eru með hreinan mænuvökva, tíma- bundna helftarlömun, með eða án taltruflana þegar eftir slysið. Ilafa menn lálið sér nægja þá skýringu, að um hafi verið að ræða heilabjúg eða vægt heila- mar, og hefur því ekki verið framkvæmd æðamyndataka hjá þeim sjúldingum. í ljósi rannsókna á sjúklingnum, sem ég hef nú lýst, dettur mér í hug, að æðakramj)i kunni oftar en álitið hefur verið að vera orsök tímabundinnar helftar- lömunar fremur en heilamar. SUMMARY. A 45 year old male was ad- mitted to The Head Injury Cen- tre at The St. Josephs Hospital, Reykjavík, because of a suspected subdural hæmatoma after a closed head injury. On admission he had a severe right sided hemiparesis with a facial weakness. He was aphasic but could answer “Yes” and “No” appropriately. There was some per.severation. A left sided carotis angiography showed gross- ly diminished flow in the Sylvian vessels as well as a spasm of the carotis artery and intra cranial vessels. The patient was given anticoagulants and vasodilators. On examination 4 months after the accident he had no signs of dysphasia and there was only slight right sided weakness with brisk reflexes and extensor plant- ar response on the right side. Ca- rotis angiography at that time showed a normal flow in the Syl- vian vessels. A review of the literature shows that so far only seven cases of similar disorders after closed head injury have been de.scribed. In the case described the cause is sup- posed to be a spasm of the cere- bral arteries as well as of the carotis. It is suggested by the author that many of the reversible post-trau- matic hemiparesis of short dura- tion seen with a normal C.S.F. might be due to an arterial spasm rather than to a cerebral contusion.
