    Mentally ill women with hyperostosis frontalis interna (HFI) had fewer affected siblings. This suggests that mental illness combined with HFI may have more external causes than other mental illnesses.

    Area of Science:

    • Neuroscience
    • Psychiatry
    • Medical Genetics

    Background:

    • Hyperostosis frontalis interna (HFI) is a common condition, particularly in middle-aged women.
    • The relationship between HFI and mental illness is not fully understood.
    • Previous research suggests potential links between HFI and certain psychiatric conditions.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the prevalence of mental morbidity in siblings of mentally ill women with and without HFI.
    • To explore potential etiological differences in mental illness based on the presence of HFI.

    Main Methods:

    • A case-control study comparing 46 mentally ill women with radiologically verified HFI to 46 matched mentally ill women without HFI.
    • Assessment of mental morbidity among the full siblings of both groups.

    Main Results:

    • Mental morbidity was significantly lower among siblings of mentally ill women with HFI compared to siblings of those without HFI.
    • This finding indicates a potential difference in the underlying causes of mental illness in women with HFI.

    Conclusions:

    • The combination of mental illness and HFI may be more frequently associated with exogenous (external) factors rather than endogenous (internal) ones.
    • Further research is warranted to elucidate the specific etiological pathways involved.
