Roentgen diagnosis of diseases of the head .

The accompanying picture (Fig. L0) givesa view of the skull deformity and the trephination sear, DISEASES OF THE SKULL 71 Case 3.—Dr. A. B., twenty-eight years old. Turricephaly of micro-cephalic form. For five years had suffered from severe headaches aud epi-leptic attacks. He had a disturbance in vision in consequence of beginning-optic nerve atrophy. The roentgenogram showed variable thickness of the skull, which, nearthe median line, was S mm. thick, and in the temporal regions was thin aspaper. The convolutional impressions were well marked. The palliative temporal trephination undertaken in von Eiselsbergsclinic had a favorable result in that the disturbance of vision progressedno further during the following Fig. 10.—The photograph of R., Case 2, page 70, taken after palliative trephinationhad been done. This is a good illustration of a turricephaly. There is also presentin this case a certain amount of exophthalmus, which, according to Schiiller is oneof the features of turricephalus. As is seen, disturbance of vision and epileptic attacks wereconsidered as indications for operative interference in ourcases. Temporal trephination was very easy on account of thethinness of the bone. A great number of cases under our observation have demon-strated to us that also the palliative sellar trephination (theauthorization for which we believe to have been theoreticallysufficiently confirmed by the basal disturbances in turricephaly)may meet with favorable anatomic conditions.
