AB In a paper1 read before the American Neurological Association in June of 1947, we reported our results with arteriography2 in cases of acute and subacute subarachnoid hemorrhages due to intracranial aneurysms and other vascular malformations. Since our present investigation grew out of that work, it may be well to summarize our findings in 10 cases of spontaneous subarachnoid hemorrhages. In 6 the condition was due to vascular malformations and in 4 to aneurysms of the circle of Willis, in all demonstrated by arteriographic study. Ligation of the common carotid artery was done in nearly every case in which the arteriograms disclosed either a vascular malformation or an aneurysm. We have employed this procedure since 1941 and, with one exception, observed no ill effects. Since our earlier report was made, ligation of the common carotid was done in several more cases of acute subarachnoid hemorrhage due to aneurysms of
