Area of Science:

  • Neurosurgery
  • Vascular Surgery
  • Dermatology

Background:

  • Sinus pericranii is a rare scalp vascular malformation.
  • It connects the intracranial venous system to the scalp.
  • Often associated with other intracranial vascular anomalies.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the clinical presentation of sinus pericranii.
  • To discuss surgical management and differential diagnoses.
  • To highlight associated intracranial vascular malformations.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of approximately 100 reported cases.
  • Analysis of antecedents, surgical procedures, and differential diagnoses.
  • Examination of associated malformations.

Main Results:

  • Sinus pericranii presents as a circumscribed, fluctuating scalp swelling.
  • The swelling typically disappears with compression and enlarges with increased intracranial pressure.
  • Approximately 100 cases have been documented.

Conclusions:

  • Sinus pericranii requires careful diagnosis and management.
  • Understanding associated malformations is crucial for comprehensive care.
  • Surgical intervention and differential diagnosis are key considerations.
