| dc.description.abstract | A retrospective study was carried out to determine the incidence of pineal gland calcification in routine skull X-rays of Kenyan Africans. The study consisted
of 5.6 adult skull x-rays.
The incidence was found to be 6.52% with a sampling error of + 2.2 (Table 1). This finding
compares very well with the Nigerian figure of 5.04% (1) and contrasts very much with the figure of 43% given by Poltera et al(9) in Ugandans.
Both the Nigerian and Kenyan figures are far below the percentage of pineal gland calcification in the Caucasians{1,9,10,13). | en |
