Angiology

Fibromuscular dysplasia of the systemic artery and cerebral "berry" (sac cular) aneurysm are nonatheromatous lesions of uncertain etiology. The coexistence of these vascular disorders in the individual reported here is unusual and may provide a possible explanation of their pathogenesis.

By using a slit plate, scanographic arterial studies can be performed with a tomographic attachment of an X-ray unit that is normally used for routine radiographic examinations. The expense is minimal and no structural changes are necessary.
