Abstract
Cranio-cerebral malformations commonly present: with a visible structural defect; with symptoms of neurological abnormalities but without evidence of raised intracranial pressure; with macrocephaly or signs of raised intracranial pressure. The large contribution made by computed axial tomography to the diagnosis and management of these cases is discussed in relation to a series of 217 patients. Invasive studies were performed in only 55 cases mainly to obtain further anatomical information prior to surgery.
