The value of skull radiography in children with intracranial tumours.

A consecutive series of 106 children with intracranial tumours has been reviewed with special reference to the findings of cranial computed tomography (CT) and plain skull radiography. This review showed that if cranial CT is to be performed, routine plain skull radiographs provide no further information of value in diagnosis. Special projections of the optic canal or internal auditory meatus may be of value in selected patients.
