Patients with a particular, steroid-sensitive headache and often characteristic pathology at orbital phlebography, have been suggested to suffer from venous vasculitis. Fifty such patients were examined with computed tomography (CT) of the brain. The findings were compared with those of an age-matched reference group selected at random to represent normal subjects. The CT examinations were analyzed with respect to size of lateral ventricles and signs of atrophy. In both groups, there was a significant increase of atrophy with age. There was also a significantly higher degree of atrophy in the patient group as compared with the reference group. The findings indicate that the supposedly underlying venous vasculitis is related to early aging and atrophy of the brain.
患有某种对类固醇敏感的头痛且眼眶静脉造影常显示特征性病理改变的患者，被认为患有静脉血管炎。对50例此类患者进行了脑部计算机断层扫描（CT）检查。将检查结果与随机选取的年龄匹配的参照组（代表正常受试者）的结果进行比较。对CT检查结果分析了侧脑室大小和萎缩迹象。在两组中，萎缩程度均随年龄显著增加。与参照组相比，患者组的萎缩程度也显著更高。这些发现表明，推测的潜在静脉血管炎与脑的早期老化和萎缩有关。
