Roentgen diagnosis of diseases of the head . m. Thelambda suture was the only one open. The impressions were plain, thesella was slightly wider than normal, and the sulcus chiasmatis was deepened.(See Figs. 13 and 14.) Case 4.—W. F., male, seventeen years old. Had a headache one dayevery week. Roentgen picture showed skull wall 9 mm. thick, smooth. As a review of our eases proves, the roentgenogram incase of scaphocephaly with clinical symptoms (headache, dis-turbance of vision), often revealed the characteristic signsof craniostenosis. There is sometimes here also indication forpalliative trephination. The accompanying photograph (Fig. 15) shows the profile ofa few-months-old baby with scaphocephaly. Plagiocephaly (Slanting Skull) Premature synostosis may be limited to the sutures of one-half of the skull, in consequence of which there is an asym-metrical development of the latter. Upon the side of the su-ture obliteration the growth is retarded, while upon the otherside there occurs a compensatory expansion of the skull. Be-. Fij . I A s:ni tr lextral exposure of head of D., Ca e ;. page 77. Hi ? is a case of scaphocephaly resulting from suture ossification and is associated with erosion of the inner surface of the skull and deepening of the vein furrows. By ing this picture with Fig. 11 one obtains a very clear idea of the difference in the sha ice] haly and scaphocephaly.
