A computerized analysis of 128 patients admitted with acute head injury and who underwent angiography is shown. Patients were divided into groups according to: age, sex, type of accident, state of consciousness and presence of localizing signs on admission, types of cerebral lesions on angiography, and discharge condition.

There is a preponderance of young males in this series of patients, related mainly to MVA. A total of 71% of the patients had abnormal angiograms, but the incidence of normal and abnormal results did not correlate significantly with any of the chosen parameters.

The same parameters were also analysed to assess their value as a prognostic index for the patient. The conclusion was drawn that the angiogram per se has no significant value as a prognostic tool, and that state of consciousness on admission is the best single index for prognosis.
