title: [Roentgen diagnosis of the posterior part of the base of the skull].
abstract: Since the cranial nerves and the base of the skull are spatially close to each other, certain complexes of symptoms and signs give a very accurate indication of the possible location of the lesion. Basing on such neurologic-topical structuralisation, lesions of the cerebrellopontine angle, the foramen jugulare, the clivus and of the foramen magnum are discussed systematically. The various techniques of radiological imaging or examination are assessed in accordance with their diagnostic ranking, and characteristic constellations of findings are described.
