On the roentgenogram the skull was of normal size and shape, 3 to 4mm. thick, porous, smooth on the inner surface. Sella was enlarged inall diameters, the anteroposterior diameter amounting to 22 mm. Cor-responding to the normal location for the floor of the sella, there weretwo parallel contours to be seen. These were thin and separated 5 each other.
