Hyperostosis frontalis interna (HOFI) is characterized by the benign growth of the inner plate of the frontal bone. It is most common in older women. Etiology is unknown. Morgagni-Stewart-Morel syndrome (MSM) is characterized by HOFI, obesity, hirsutism and mental illnesses but these associations are mostly based only on case reports. MSM syndrome is a misunderstood and less reported pathology. The clinical presentation is not well defined and its finding is usually coincidental. The patient may present variable symptomatology. The idea that we should keep in mind is that HOFI represent the main pattern of MSM. Thus, it is highly important to specify the presence and degree of HOFI in radiological reports.
