Relationship between Monro's foramen and cranial breadth: a method for a more accurate echo-encephalographic examination.
A pneumoencephalographic study to localize the position of Monro's foramen in the skull cavity is reported. This has to be done by evaluating the place of Monro's foramen in both vertical and horizontal plane. A method to perform more accurate ultrasonic examinations is described.
