Authors discuss hyperostosis frontalis interna observed in a large number of aged persons, on the basis of age and sex distribution as well as its clinical and roentgenomorphological analysis. In various forms of the ossification of the frontal bone no significant difference was found between the localisation of hyperostosis and the clinical symptoms. On other hand, there is a direct correlation between the extension and severity of hyperostosis and the frequency of occurence of the associated symptoms (obesity, hypertension). They found the aetiological classification more adequate than the morphological categorization of Moore. Their cases are discussed 1. as partial phenomenon of the Morgagni's syndrome; 2. as independent alteration, showing no other symptoms; 3. as transitionary forms inserted between the two groups mentioned above. They discuss also the question of senile, compensatory hyperostosis frontalis interna. On the basis of the study of a large autopsy material they support the opinion that there is a direct connection of this form with old age.
作者基于年龄和性别分布以及临床和X线形态学分析，讨论了在大量老年人中观察到的额骨内板增生症。在各种形式的额骨骨化中，骨增生的部位与临床症状之间未发现显著差异。另一方面，骨增生的范围和严重程度与相关症状（肥胖、高血压）的发生频率之间存在直接相关性。他们发现病因分类比摩尔的形态学分类更合适。他们的病例被讨论为：1. 作为莫尔加尼综合征的部分现象；2. 作为独立改变，无其他症状；3. 作为上述两组之间的过渡形式。他们还讨论了老年性、代偿性额骨内板增生症的问题。基于对大量尸检材料的研究，他们支持这种形式与老年有直接联系的观点。
