The aim of this book is to expand the clinical information given by computed tomograms (CTs) of cerebral infarcts. Anatomical sections are displayed parallel to the CT correlate in the hope that the interpretation of pathogenesis will provide valuable clinical data at a time when the number of angiographies performed in cerebrovascular cases has diminished rapidly. For better understanding of pathogenesis our concepts concerning the process of infarction have been summarized on the basis of schematic draw ings. K.-J. ZULCH KOln Acknowledgments I am most grateful to Professor Hoeffk:en for permission to use computed tomograms from his institution, to Herr GOldner and Frau Miihlhover for their technical assistance, and to Frau Goldner for help during the editorial work. My particular thanks go to my friend Professor W.S. Fields, Houston, who undertook the great burden of styling the English text. My gratitude is expressed to Dr. Dr. h.c. multo Heinz Gotze and Springer Verlag for the excellent layout and quality of this book.
