title: MRI of the skull.
abstract: Thirty-four patients with a wide variety of benign and malignant incidental skull findings on routine magnetic resonance (MR) imaging of the brain were reviewed. In most instances detection of the lesions was not difficult. However, recognition of various patterns of skull involvement in different disease processes is important. This is particularly true in differentiating benign from malignant lesions, which may be a critical factor in patient management.
