Spinal cord arteriosclerosis is considered to be infrequent compared with atheromatosis in other parts of the body. Whereas Staemmler (1939) could not observe any atheromatous changes in the spinal cords of 700 unselected cadavers, Nunes Vicente (1964) noted mild arteriosclerosis of major spinal vessels in 13 out of 200 consecutive necropsy cases. Mannen (1963) even reported the incidence of 2-...

That diverse factors are concerned in causing arterial pathological changes largely confined to lungs is clear from a review published by McKeown (1952). Only one of these factors, incorporation of fibrin into arterial intima, is here considered as a cause of pulmonary arteriosclerosis and cor pulmonale. Goedel (1930), Belt (1939), and according to Duguid (1946) Rokitansky were all aware that i...
