By Sherwood Moore, M.D., Professor Emeritus of Radiology, Washington University School of Medicine; Former Director of the Edward Mal-linckrodt Institute of Radiology, St. Louis, Mo. A volume of 226 pages, with 107 illustrations and 7 tables. Published by Charles C Thomas, Springfield, I11. Price $10.50.Prof. Sherwood Moore has prepared an excellent monograph on a subject, hyperostosis cranii, which he has been studying for many years and to which he has made significant contributions. It is unfortunate that the etiology of this condition remains obscure.Four types of hyperostosis make up the author's classification: hyperostosis frontalis interna, hyperostosis calvariae diffusa, nebula frontalis, and hyperostosis frontoparietalis. All phases of the condition are covered, including the roentgen diagnosis, the dimensions of the skull as determined roentgenologically, the clinical aspects, pathology, treatment, social and economic aspects, and even paleopathology. A statistical analysis of comparative measurements of normal and hyperostotic skulls is of special interest. An excellent historical review is appended, and there is a voluminous bibliography. This is a valuable and complete study which will be welcomed by radiologists and clinicians who are interested in further study of this condition and its possible etiology.Article HistoryPublished in print: Aug 1955 FiguresReferencesRelatedDetailsRecommended Articles RSNA Education Exhibits RSNA Case Collection Vol. 65, No. 2 Metrics Altmetric Score PDF download
