Roentgen diagnosis of diseases of the head . acusticus tumor with hydrocephalusof the third ventricle. The postmortem verified the diagnosis as there wasa plum-sized tumor of the acusticus on the right side, and a marked chronicinternal hydrocephalus. Case 3.—.J. J., female, fifty years old. Choked disc both sides. On theleft side there was absence of reflex in the fifth nerve, paresis of the third,slight paresis of the seventh, the eighth paralyzed. Slight ataxia of theupper extremities. Romberg positive. Clinical diagnosis: tumor of acusti-cus on the left side. The roentgenogram showed the skull to be 6 mm. thick, inner surfacesmooth. Sella was of normal size, dorsum much thinned and tipped forward.(See Figs. 79 and 80.) The oj:>eration performed in the clinic of vonEiselsberg and the postmortem, later, verified the clinical finding. Therewas found a. gliofibroma of the acusticus. The inner surface of the skullwas smooth, the dorsum sella1 thin as paper and bent forward. (Sec Leisch-ner, Case 3.) INTRACRANIAL DISEASES 205.
