Multiple lateral sinus pericranii--A case report
Vojnosanitetski Pregled
|November 12, 2015
Summary
Sinus pericranii, a rare vascular anomaly, presents unique challenges with off-midline, multiple lesions. Surgical removal is essential for managing this condition and preventing fatal complications.
Area of Science:
- Vascular Surgery
- Neurology
- Radiology
Background:
- Sinus pericranii is a rare vascular anomaly characterized by abnormal extracranial-intracranial venous communication.
- Typically involves the superior sagittal or transverse sinuses; off-midline lesions are exceptionally rare.
- Unusual presentations include multiplicity, venous lakes, and venous angiomas.
Observation:
- A case of multiple congenital off-midline sinus pericranii in the left frontotemporal and parietal region is detailed.
- Magnetic resonance imaging revealed extracranial vascular anomalies connected to the intracranial venous system via abnormal diploic or emissary veins.
- Complete surgical excision of the lesions was performed.
Findings:
- The presented case highlights an unusual and unique manifestation of sinus pericranii.
- Demonstrates the successful surgical management of complex, off-midline sinus pericranii.
- Confirms the utility of MRI in diagnosing this rare vascular malformation.
Implications:
- Sinus pericranii, despite its rarity, can lead to fatal complications.
- Early diagnosis and treatment, including surgical or endovascular procedures, are crucial.
- This case expands the understanding of sinus pericranii presentations and management strategies.

01:27Cranial Bones: Lateral View
7.9K
The lateral view of the cranium is dominated by temporal, sphenoid, and ethmoid bones.
The temporal bone forms the lower lateral side of the skull. The temporal bone is subdivided into several regions. The flattened upper portion is the squamous portion of the temporal bone. Below this area and projecting anteriorly is the zygomatic process of the temporal bone, which forms the posterior portion of the zygomatic arch. Posteriorly is the mastoid portion of the temporal bone. Projecting...

01:14Cranial Bones: Superior and Posterior View
8.6K
The superior view of the cranium shows the frontal and paired parietal bones.
The frontal bone is the single bone that forms the forehead. At its anterior midline, between the eyebrows, there is a slight depression called the glabella. The frontal bone also forms the supraorbital margin of the orbit. Near the middle of this margin is the supraorbital foramen, the opening that provides passage for a sensory nerve to the forehead. The frontal bone is thickened just above each supraorbital margin,...
