BASILAR IMPRESSION OF THE SKULL.

Abstract

THE anatomical features of basilar impression of the skull have long been known; its recognition during the lifetime of the patient is extremely difficult on clinical grounds alone, and must be based on accurate radiological examination. In the case to be described in the present paper, planigraphic radiography by the method of Dr. Ziedses Des Plantes (1932) clarified the anatomical details and proved a most reliable aid to diagnosis.
