Abstract:
The skull radiographs of 68 patients undergoing dialysis for chronic renal failure were reviewed for evidence of renal osteodystrophy. Four patients (6%) were positive and the unusually severe changes seen in one patient are described in detail. The changes seen in the skull in renal failure, both before and after treatment, are discussed.
