    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Large parietal foramina in a mother and children may develop from a single midline opening. Characteristic symptoms include headaches and vomiting, worsened by pressure on the skull defects.

    Area of Science:

    • Medical Imaging
    • Genetics
    • Pediatrics

    Background:

    • Parietal foramina are paired symmetrical openings in the parietal bones of the skull.
    • Large parietal foramina (LPF) are a rare congenital anomaly, with limited understanding of their development and associated symptoms.

    Observation:

    • A familial case involving a mother and her two children with LPF was investigated using plain roentgenograms and computed tomography.
    • Clinical observations included recurrent unexplained headaches and vomiting in the children.

    Findings:

    • The mother's insights suggested that the bilateral defects in her children may arise from a single midline ossification defect.
    • Direct pressure or manipulation of the hair over the parietal foramina induced local pain and severe headaches in all three affected individuals.

    Implications:

    • This familial study provides insights into the potential developmental pathway of large parietal foramina, possibly involving median ossification.
    • Understanding the characteristic symptoms, such as headaches triggered by pressure, is crucial for diagnosing and managing this rare cranial anomaly.
