BOOK NOTICES
BOOK NOTICES La radiographie en ophtalmologie. At las clinique. By Prof. Edward Hartmann, 272 pages, 391 illustrations, cloth binding. Paris, Masson et Cie, French Ophthalmological Society, 1936, price not stated. The French Ophthalmological Socie ty annually presents to its members a volume of some modern work of excep tional value. Last year it was a review of the intracapsular operation for cata ract, being a complete study of the work of various operators with conclusions as to the value of this method of opera tion. That for 1936 consists of a magnifi cent octavo volume of 272 pages on finely surfaced paper on ophthalmic radiography. It is a clinical atlas pre pared by Prof. Edward Hartmann of the Paris Hospitals and was presented at the annual meeting in Paris on May 12th of the present year, a rapidity of repro duction which is most creditable. It con sists of a series of very excellent radio graphs including the various positions of the face and orbits and of the sinuses with affections of the globe including
809
intraocular foreign bodies. Among the important plates are those of bony neo plasms, tumors of the orbit and adjacent regions, syphilitic growths, fractures, and radiographs of the lacrimal canals and of cerebral neoplasms involving the eyes. The radiographs of the different affections of the bones of the skull and face are exceptionally valuable includ ing oxycephaly, hereditary cranial facial d y s o s t o s e s , acrocephalosyndactylia, Paget's disease, neurofibromatoses in volving the nasal sinuses, leontiasis ossea, the Schuller-Christian syndrome, and many other rare forms of osteal changes. The various techniques de scribed with accuracy are those of Kohler, Dor, Belot, Fraudet, Holtzknecht, d'Altschul, Grudwinski, and also those of the Americans, Sweet and Dixon. The volume forms a unique publica tion, the radiographs being beautifully delineated. The work should be in every radiographie laboratory as a basis of comparison, for such an array of rare pictures has never before been presented in any volume. It is very suitably dedi cated to the memory of Prof. V. Morax. Park Lewis.
