By studying the two in conjunction, the details ofFig. 27 come out more clearly. 138 ROENTGEN DIAGNOSIS OF DISEASES OF THE HEAD All five cases mentioned show superficially developed spongyhyperostosis of the exterior of the skull in the vertex hyperostosis produced, clinically, a deformity of the skullwhich, however, was without cerebral symptoms in Oases 1, 3,4 and 5. At least, we do not venture to establish a relationshipbetween the nervous disturbances (imbecility, hemiplegia, hys-teria) in these four cases and the excentric thickening of theskull. In Case 5 the basal bone growth was the cause of theeye symptoms. Only in Case 2, Avhere the hyperostosis of theparietal region extended toward the interior, do we consider itthe cause of the contralateral hemiplegia. We will discuss partial hyperostosis of the base of the skulland of the face in the sections on Eye, Ear, and Nose Diseases. Tumors of the Skull Under this heading we will discus
