Considerable impetus was given to the study and understanding of
cere brovascular anatomy by Thomas Willis and his contemporaries in
the seventeenth century, yet almost two hundred years were to pass
before further significant advances were made in this field. Then,
from the mid nineteenth century onwards, the dark ages of
cerebrovascular research gradually lifted through the efforts of
such workers as Luschka, Heubner, and Windle, whose pioneering
anatomical studies formed the basis of the present-day
understanding of the morphology of the cerebral circulation. The
turn of the century saw an increasing influence of the early
neurolo gists in describing anatomy of cerebral vessels in relation
to their areas of distribution and to the production of focal
deficits through specific vascu lar lesions and anomalies. Later
still, Padget and others made important observations concerning
phylogenetic and developmental aspects of the cerebral circulation.
These anatomical and clinical studies were remarkable enough but
the real breakthrough in investigating cerebral pathophysiology and
in devis ing appropriate corrective neurosurgical procedures had to
await the re markable advances in technology of the past fifty
years. These began with the advent of cerebral angiography with all
its subsequent refinements and progress has been accelerated
through establishing noninvasive Doppler and high resolution
ultrasound imaging techniques, methods for the accu rate
measurement of cerebral blood flow, CT scanning, PET scanning, and,
most recently, imaging and metabolic NMR scanning.
