Abstract
The importance of x-ray-investigations of skull is demonstrated in ten remarkable examples. Mostly intracerebral calcification follows inflammatory, traumatic, neoplastic or metabolic disease. In spite of the simplification of contrast-investigations which have assumed great importance x-ray-films of skull often permit specific diagnostic assessment and therefore should be done first.
