This is clearly exemplified by the fact that, as late as 1931, the lesion was only occasionally identified during the life of the patient whereas, today, its recognition is virtually a routine procedure. This high degree of diagnostic proficiency is chiefly the result of a determined and sustained effort to correlate the clinical signs with the postmortem findings. This has made the clinician alert, guiding him to utilize a special fluoroscopic technic4, 6, 8, 9, 10which in a...References1.
