Abstract
CUSHING and Bailey,1in a monograph published in 1928, completely reviewed the literature and contributed their own experiences with tumors arising from blood vessels of the brain. Dandy2in the same year contributed two papers on the same subject. Thus, this subject was clarified and a solid base was formed for further work. Cushing and Bailey1divided the tumors of cerebral blood vessels into two groups: (1) the angiomatous malformations and (2) the hemangioblastomas, or true neoplasms of blood-vessel elements. The malformations were further subdivided into (1) telangiectases, chiefly capillary; (2) angioma venosum, chiefly venous, and (3) angioma arteriale, arteriovenous. The angioma venosum group was further subdivided into (a) the simple varix; (b) the serpentine varix, superficial, and (c) the racemose, or cirsoid varix—a congeries of deep-seated vessels. The angioma arteriale was subdivided into the serpentine and the racemose, or cirsoid, type. Dandy2asuggested that theKeywords
