Abstract
A thirty-seven year old, East Indian female was admitted to St. Michael's Hospital on July 26, 1979 complaining of headache, diplopia, nausea and vomiting.In April of 1978 she was referred to a neurologist for investigation of headache. Neurological examination was normal. An X-ray of her skull revealed a lytic lesion, 2 cms. in diameter, in the right frontal area. A bone scan showed no abnormality. Further study was refused. A left facial “birth mark” was noted.Keywords
