13. Destructive arthritis associated with acne fulminans: a case report.
Arthralgias have previously been reported in association with acne fulminans, but the following case in the first report of osseous lesions associated with this disease. The destructive bony lesion was rapid in onset but self-limited.

14. Costovertebral and costotransverse joint involvement in rheumatoid arthritis.
Lesions of the costovertebral (CV) and costotransverse (CT) joints are distinctly unusual in rheumatoid arthritis. The patient presented had dramatic changes in these joints with destruction, ankylosis, and bony overgrowth. This led to a moderate respiratory impairment and a distinctive radiological presentation.

15. Acute cervical cord injuries in patients with epilepsy.
Seven cases with acute cervical cord lesions associated with a fit and fall, were found in approximately 500 patients with epilepsy over a period of 7 years. In all patients the epilepsy was refractory to drug therapy and six suffered tonic fits which resulted in falls and frequent head injuries. Notable radiological changes were found in the cervical spine;

16. Porotic hyperostosis and the Gelligaer skull
The differential diagnosis of the bony lesions known as porotic hyperostosis found on a Bronze Age child's skull is discussed. Keith and Shattock gave an opinion in 1923 that the cause was rickets. A firm conclusion is not reached in this paper, but it is suggested that it was more likely to have been an iron-deficiency anaemia.

17. Imaging metastatic bone disease from carcinoma of the prostate
Imaging bone metastases from prostate cancer presents several challenges. The lesions are usually sclerotic and appear late on the conventional X-ray. Bone scintigraphy is the mainstay of lesion detection, but is often not suitable for assessment of treatment response, particularly because of a ‘flare' phenomenon after therapy. Magnetic resonance imaging i

18. Neurological involvement in X-linked hypophosphataemic rickets.
X-linked hypophosphataemic rickets is a familial form of Vitamin D resistant rickets in which gross bony and ligamentous changes may occur. Two patients showing severe spinal disease with evidence of spinal cord compression requiring neurosurgical intervention are reported. The management of such lesions may be problematic as cord compression may be found at

19. Clinical and radiographic features of spondylitic hip disease.
The clinical and radiographic features of hip disease in 76 patients with definite ankylosing spondylitis have been studied. Symptomatic hip involvement occurred late in the course of the disease, with a mean delay after the onset of 12 years in males and 7 years in females. Patients with disease onset before the age of 20 developed hip symptoms at an earlie

20. The number and size of axons central and peripheral to inferior alveolar nerve injuries in the cat.
We have observed the effect of three different lesions on the inferior alveolar nerve of the cat. If the nerve is transected and the cut ends reapposed there is no significant difference between the number of myelinated axons in the nerve proximal to the lesion and the number in contralateral control nerves at 9 or 15 weeks post-operatively. Counts distal to

21. The surgical treatment of fibrous dysplasia. With emphasis on recent contributions from cranio-maxillo-facial surgery.
Fibrous dysplasia is a congenital, metabolic, nonfamilial disturbance that occurs in one or more bones, at times in association with skin pigmentations or endocrine abnormalities. The authors report on a large personal series of 23 patients with fibrous dysplasia involving the craniofacial skeleton. The etiology, clinical findings, pathology, and differentia
