Fortunately, our neurological and neurosurgical colleagues are alert to the fact of cervical vascular disease as an etiological factor in cerebral catastrophies. One wrote in a recent paper, "It cannot be stressed too strongly that modern adequate therapy in the stroke patient rests upon the solid bedrock of a promptly established, precise, focal anatomical diagnosis."3
In the following case studies the segmental anatomical pathology was made manifest by virtue of angiography, with a resultant picture of occlusive vascular disease. However, surgical exploration demonstrated in one patient periadventitial fibrosis of a congenital stenotic internal carotid artery,
