One hundred and eighty-one patients with nonhemorrhagic strokes were classified clinically and arteriographically. Of 28 patients with completed strokes and no arteriographic abnormalities, 22 recovered within four weeks of the attack, but only 15 were in good condition two years later. Only 19 of the 41 patients with completed strokes and arteriograms showing generalized arteriosclerosis recovered within four weeks, and only 11 of 38 were well after two years. Patients with completed strokes and focal cervical arteriosclerosis had an immediate higher death rate, but otherwise their course was similar to the group of completed-stroke patients with generalized cerebrovascular disease. Patients with transient cerebral ischemic attacks (TIA) did even better. They did have a greater percentage of normal arteriograms, but even TIA patients with abnormal arteriograms did better than analogous groups with completed strokes.
