[The morphology of the facial skull in patients with active acromegaly based on lateral-view teleroentgenograms].

Measurements of skull base, maxilla and mandible were carried out from lateral teleroentgenograms of the skull made in 27 patients with active acromegaly. Total anterior facial height and mandibular branch height were found the most increased both in men and women. Bone changes of the skull base and facial skeleton in patients with active acromegaly did not depend on the disease duration.
