Observations on Cranial Radiography in a Series of Intracranial Tumours

Abstract

The plain films of the skull of 625 patients with verified intracranial tumours have been reviewed. It is clear that the examination of such films continues to form an indispensable preliminary to any further radiological examination which may be necessary. Some of the abnormalities seen have been considered at length, their incidence assessed and compared with that noted in other series of cases. Attention has been drawn to the classification of gliomas devised by Kernohan and Sayre (1952), and which has received wide clinical acceptance.
