1. By means of a cranial transillumination method used in conjunction with lumbar and bregmatic punctures, an increase in the space which contains the cerebro-spinal fluid in the cranial region is suggested in children with severe marasmic malnutrition.

2. The results appear to indicate that this is due to a diminished brain size, creating a space in the interior of the cranium which secondarily fills with cerebro-spinal fluid.
