Three patients had nonatheromatous occlusive cervicocephalic arterial disease which on follow-up showed resolution of the occlusive or stenosing abnormalities. The patients' relatively young age (middle thirties to middle forties) and severe unilateral headache or focal head, neck, or mastoid pain were prominent common clinical features. The dominant arteriographic features were intimal irregularities, multiple vessel involvement, tendency to arterial dissection and aneurysm formation, sparing of intracranial arteries, and tendency to partial or complete resolution of the abnormalities and regression toward normal. We have called this presumed entity "idiopathic regressing arteriopathy" pending appropriate histopathological studies.
三名患者患有非动脉粥样硬化性闭塞性颈脑动脉疾病，随访显示闭塞或狭窄异常得到缓解。患者相对年轻（三十五六岁至四十五六岁）以及严重的单侧头痛或头部、颈部或乳突局部疼痛是突出的常见临床特征。主要的血管造影特征为内膜不规则、多血管受累、动脉夹层和动脉瘤形成倾向、颅内动脉未受累以及异常部分或完全缓解并恢复正常的倾向。在进行适当的组织病理学研究之前，我们将这种假定的疾病称为“特发性退行性动脉病”。
