Arteriographic correlates of handedness

FRED H. HOCHBERG, M.D. and MARJORIE LE MAY, M.D.

Harvard Medical School and the Departments of Neuropathology and Radiology, Massachusetts General Hospital, Boston.

Bilateral intracranial arteriograms of 123 right-handed patients and 38 left-handed patients were evaluated for: (1) the angulation of the branches of the right and left middle cerebral arteries as they leave the Sylvian fissure, (2) the position of the posterior saggital sinus with respect to the anatomic saggital midline, and (3) the dominant right-sided and left-sided superficial cortical venous drainage (Labbé, Trolard, and Sylvian). Arteriographic evaluations of these points may prove useful in assessing cerebral dominance.

This work was supported in part by NINDS special fellowship No. 1 F11 NS 2578-01.

Received for publication September 9, 1974.

Dr. Le May's address is Department of Radiology, Massachusetts General Hospital, Fruit Street, Boston, MA 02114.
