Vasoconstrictive effects of human post-hemorrhagic cerebrospinal fluid on cat pial arterioles in situ. 1981

L Brandt, and B Ljunggren, and K E Anderson, and B Hindfelt, and G Teasdale

Cat cortical arterioles were exposed in vivo to cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) from four patients with subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) due to a ruptured intracranial aneurysm. Pial arteriolar caliber was measured by the television image-splitting technique. There was a consistent vasoconstrictive response to CSF. This effect could be ascribed neither to the pH of the CSF nor to the potassium concentration. The vasoconstriction, which was more pronounced with decreasing arteriolar caliber, could be resolved by the perivascular application of nifedipine.

D002415 Cats The domestic cat, Felis catus, of the carnivore family FELIDAE, comprising over 30 different breeds. The domestic cat is descended primarily from the wild cat of Africa and extreme southwestern Asia. Though probably present in towns in Palestine as long ago as 7000 years, actual domestication occurred in Egypt about 4000 years ago.

D002532 Intracranial Aneurysm Abnormal outpouching in the wall of intracranial blood vessels. Most common are the saccular (berry) aneurysms located at branch points in CIRCLE OF WILLIS at the base of the brain. Vessel rupture results in SUBARACHNOID HEMORRHAGE or INTRACRANIAL HEMORRHAGES. Giant aneurysms (>2.5 cm in diameter) may compress adjacent structures, including the OCULOMOTOR NERVE.
