title: [Morgagni's syndrome].
abstract: Morgagni's Syndrome is a polyglandular endocrine syndrome, occurring almost exclusively in the female sex. It is characterized of the classical triad: internal frontal hyperostosis, obesity, virillism, and often accompanied by an old-age type of diabetes. In itself the hyperostosis is of little significance, but sometimes it is a valuable sign of a disorder of the carbohydrate metabolism. In many cases the syndrome is almost symptomless, in other cases senile neuro-psychiatric symptoms and ailments of old age dominate the clinical picture. The internal frontal hyperostosis has no closer relation to other more or less diffuse thickenings of the skull.
