The roentgenogram showed a moderate deepening and a considerable INTRACRANIAL DISEASES 185 widening of the sella (anteroposterior diameter 17 mm.). The dorsumsellse was plump and tipped backward. There was a striking plumpnessof the anterior clinoid processes. (See Fig. 58.) Case 9.—B., male, thirty-six years old. Enlargement of the hands forthe last fourteen years. Typical acromegaly. The roentgenogram showed extreme deei^ening of the sella and an ex-tremely long and thin dorsum. (See Fig. 59.) Case 10.—A. S., female, forty-four years old. In connection with pre
