Fig. 4.—Twelve days after operation, to show the field and situation of thecurved incision, its limits indicated by Fig. 5.—Condition ten months after operation (for comparison with Fig. 1). CUSHIXG—CRAXIAL HYPEROSTOSES 145 was fully exposed. Removal of the sphenoid wing was carried inward to theregion of the left anterior clinoids in the depths of the sylvian groove. At the bottom of the bone defect thus made, roughened dura was exposedcovering practically the entire tip of the temporal lobe. There was no cer-tainty as to what underlay this thickened dura, whether an endothelioma ofthe plaque variety or a rounded tumor. The membrane was opened at theupper margin of the bone defect where it was evidently normal in appearanceand the edge of a flat endothelioma was seen. The incision in the membranewas then carried around between normal dura and the edge of the tumor, givingthe latter a free margin of a few millimeters.
