On the roentgenogram there appeared an erosion of the dorsum sella1,shallow widening of the hypophyseal fossa, very marked eonvolutional im-pressions, and separation of the sutures. The postmortem showed that, inaddition to a cystic tumor id the acusticus the size of a small apple, caus-ing marked compression of the cerebellum and the pons, there existed achronic internal hydrocephalus with flattening- of the convolutions.
