[X-ray manifestations of severe congenital deformities of the visceral cranium].

The paper discusses the most rational algorithm of an X-ray study and its results obtained while analyzing X-ray findings in 320 patients with severe congenital deformities of the visceral cranium. The malformations are shown to involve not only the visceral cranium, but also the cerebral cranium and its base and they can be rarely assigned to any of the known syndromes as they have frequently something in common. The most rational scheme of a X-ray study is presented.
