Computer-assisted 3D reconstruction of the terminal branches of the cerebral arteries. I. Anterior cerebral artery.

We present a three-dimensional anatomical computer model of the terminal branches of the anterior cerebral artery, acquired from equidistant serial anatomical slices of three brains. The reconstructions provide a clear picture from all angles of the complicated course of the terminal branches of the cerebral arteries, which can help to identify them on conventional and magnetic resonance angiography. Our rendition of the cerebral arteries can also be matched with CT, MR or PET images to indicate the areas of extension of individual branches, allowing neuromorphological and functional correlations.

Computer-assisted 3D reconstruction of the terminal branches of the cerebral arteries. II. Middle cerebral artery.

We present a three-dimensional anatomical computer model of the terminal branches of the middle cerebral artery, acquired from equidistant serial anatomical slices of three brains. The reconstructions provide a clear picture from all angles of the complicated course of the terminal branches of the cerebral arteries, which can help to identify them on conventional angiography and magnetic resonance angiography. The arteries can also be matched with CT, MR or PET images to indicate the areas of extension of individual branches, allowing neuromorphological and functional correlations.

Computer-assisted 3D reconstruction of the terminal branches of the cerebral arteries. III. Posterior cerebral artery and circle of Willis.

We present a three-dimensional anatomical computer model of the terminal branches of the posterior cerebral artery and circle of Willis, acquired from equidistant serial anatomical slices of three brains. The reconstructions provide a clear picture from all angles of the complicated course of the terminal branches of the cerebral arteries. This can help to identify the arteries in conventional and magnetic resonance angiography. Our rendition of the cerebral arteries can be matched with CT, MR und PET images to indicate the areas of extension of the individual branches, allowing neuromorphological and functional correlations.

Panic attacks and agoraphobia: low dose clomipramine treatment.

Seventeen outpatients with panic anxiety and agoraphobia were treated with a low, flexible dose of clomipramine in an 8-week open trial. Panic attacks ceased completely in 13 patients and markedly decreased in the other four without additional therapeutic measures. Avoidance behavior disappeared in five of the seven agoraphobic patients. Overall mean dosage was 45 mg/day, with eight patients receiving clomipramine 25 mg or less. Higher doses were needed when agoraphobia was present. These results are discussed in conjunction with previous findings and lend support to serotonergic involvement in panic anxiety. Further double-blind studies are needed to confirm these results.

Clomipramine treatment for panic attacks in patients with mitral valve prolapse.

Clomipramine (25-150 mg/day) was given in a 2-month open clinical trial to patients with DSM-III defined panic disorder (N = 8) or agoraphobia with panic attacks (N = 12); 6 of these patients were found to have MVP. Substantial improvement was seen in all of the patients with MVP and 11 of 14 without MVP. Response was not affected by age, sex, or agoraphobic vs panic disorder diagnosis. Thus, clomipramine appears effective in the treatment of spontaneous panic attacks with or without mitral valve prolapse.

Prolactin response to the cold pressor test in patients with panic attacks.

Recent advances in psychiatric nosology have provided a clearer clinical description of panic disorder and agoraphobia with panic attacks. This clinical improvement has yet to result in a better understanding of the basic mechanisms involved in these conditions. The present study compares the effects of the cold pressor test on blood pressure changes and prolactin levels in patients with panic disorder and agoraphobia with panic attacks to its effects in normal controls. Because the effects of the cold pressor test were similar in patients and normal controls, it appears that alpha-adrenergic function is normal in the patient group. The results also suggest that prolactin hypersecretion does not occur in pathological anxiety states.

Mitral valve prolapse and panic attacks.

Patients complaining of recurrent spontaneous panic attacks (RSPA) are frequently seen in emergency rooms and psychiatric outpatient services. The symptomatology of RSPA suggests some underlying cardiac pathology. Recent publications in the psychiatric literature have reported a high incidence of mitral valve prolapse (MVP) in patients complaining of RSPA. In our study we report a 39% incidence of MVP in a psychiatric population with RSPA. The importance of this finding is yet to be determined.

Treatment of spontaneous panic attacks with chlomipramine.

Recurrent spontaneous panic attacks are psychophysiological symptoms present in panic disorder and agoraphobia with panic attacks. Effective pharmacological treatment for panic attacks is essential to any treatment plan for these conditions. The authors administered chlomipramine to 20 patients who had panic disorder or agoraphobia with panic attacks, and after 8 weeks of treatment 75% of the patients with each diagnosis were asymptomatic. These results support the claim that chlomipramine is highly effective in preventing recurrence of panic attacks.

Panic attacks. A review of treatments and pathogenesis.

In the psychiatric literature, panic attacks have been considered as part of the clinical manifestations of anxiety neurosis, agoraphobia, functional cardiovascular disturbances, and the phobic depersonalization syndrome. Even though recurrent spontaneous panic attacks are described in these entities, the importance ascribed to them has been minor one. Therefore, panic attacks are poorly understood from a psycho-physio pathological point of view. In the past years, new trends in the nosology of psychiatric disorders have grouped the recurrent spontaneous panic attacks under the heading "panic disorder and agoraphobia with panic attacks." In this view, we present the results of the controlled pharmacological trials on patients complaining of panic attacks. Some relationships between panic attacks, panic disorder, and agoraphobia are discussed.
