Summary
Sinus pericranii, a rare vascular anomaly, can present as a growing soft tissue mass after head trauma. Successful surgical resection offers a treatment option for this condition.
Area of Science:
- Vascular Surgery
- Neurosurgery
- Medical Imaging
Background:
- Sinus pericranii is a rare vascular anomaly characterized by abnormal connections between the external and internal circulatory systems.
- Vascular anomalies require precise diagnosis and management strategies.
Observation:
- A 33-year-old woman presented with a progressively enlarging, painful soft tissue mass in the left frontal region.
- The mass was linked to a head trauma incident from 20 years prior.
Findings:
- The patient's condition was diagnosed as sinus pericranii, a rare vascular malformation.
- Surgical resection of the sinus pericranii mass was performed successfully.
Implications:
- This case highlights the potential long-term sequelae of head trauma, including the development of sinus pericranii.
- Successful surgical intervention demonstrates a viable treatment pathway for symptomatic sinus pericranii.
