[Vertebral hyperostosis and hyperostosis frontalis interna].
Routine roentgenographic examination of the spine was performed in 690 patients with rheumatologic disorders. Ankylosing hyperostosis was discovered in 124 patients (18 percent). Roentgenograms of the skull revealed hyperostosis frontalis interna in 63 percent of cases, especially in female patients. No common pathogenic mechanism, however, has been discovered in these two disorders.
