Introduction:
Sinus pericranii (SP) is a rare vascular malformation characterized by abnormal communication between the intracranial and extracranial venous systems [1]. Sinus pericranii is most commonly seen in the distribution areas of the superior sagittal and transverse sinuses [2]. There are no uniform criteria for the etiology, pathogenesis, diagnostic criteria, treatment options, or prognosis of sinus pericranii [3].
Case Description:
In this paper, we present the diagnosis and treatment of a child admitted to our neurosurgery department in 2019 with rapidly growing frontal sinus pericranii, as well as the 3-year postoperative follow-up.
Discussion:
The authors summarize the clinical presentation characteristics, diagnosis and treatment methods, and prognosis of this disease using relevant domestic and international literature to improve clinicians' understanding of this disease.
Conclusion:
It is rare to see a significant growing of the sinus pericranii within a short period, and the mechanism of their occurrence needs to be further explored.
