The etiology of osseous deformities of the head, face, jaws and teeth . mother of fever sore on her leg; has been intem-perate since youth, and has had severe syphilis; has hadsevere small-pox, with resulting great disfigurement, notshown in cut; general appearance fairly healthy; is veryawkwardly built, slab-sided as the orderly expressed it;his gait is of the shuffling or shambling variety; is right- THE HEAD, FACE, JAWS AND TEETH 127 handed; is lame as a consequence of syphilis; hearing nor-mal; vision has been impaired for many years; featuresvery asymmetrical; the face is long and narrow andthe chin pointed, but not prognathous; the left eye muchsmaller than the right, not properly shown in cut, and theentire left side of the face imperfectly developed; the nose isslightly flattened and the septum deviated to the left, thenostril being nearly occluded; the ears are asymmetricallydeveloped, the left being the larger, most thickened, irregu-lar and deformed; cranial index brachycephalic; verticalindex platycephalic; the large size and disproportionate. Pig. 28. breadth of the cranium are very noticeable. The cranium isasymmetrically developed. The right frontal eminence isvery prominent. The left parietal prominence is very calvarium is depressed at the right of the vertex. Thereis also a well-defined depression at the bregma. The rightoccipito-mastoid region is excessively developed (Fig. 28;.The generally twisted appearance of cranium already alludedto is well shown in this subject. The jaws are saddle-shaped, and the palate irregular and unevenly actions and garrulous conversation of this subjectshowed him to be a paranoiac of a pronounced type. A V2S ETIOLOGY OF OSSEOUS DEFORMITIES OF glance at the physiognomy of this man, as shown in Fig. 29,is suggestive to the neiiioU)gist in this connection.
