Sinus Pericranii: A Case Report and Review of Literature

Abstract: Normally, there is no obvious communication between the intracranial and extra cranial venous drainages in the head. In Sinus Pericranii, there is an abnormal communication, either from the extra cranial system to the intracranial venous sinuses or from the intracranial venous system to the extra cranial draining veins. Venous anomaly is a collection of non muscular venous blood vessels, adhering tightly to the outer surface of the skull and directly communicating with an intracranial venous sinus through dipl… Show more

“…These are consistent with Taylor et al, who conducted his study to assess the role of abnormal intracranial venous drainage in children with complex forms of craniosynostosis, producing a state of intracranial venous hypertension 13 . SP has been reported being associated with raised intracranial pressure leading to pressure erosion of the skull and development of emissary veins or diploic veins through the skull bone 14–16 . Besides, Gandolfo et al indicated that SP formed in craniosynostosis may probably represent an alternative drainage to the narrowed outlets at the cranial base 5 …”

“…7 More invasive imaging techniques such as digital subtraction angiography (DSA) and percutaneous sinography (direct injection of contrast medium into the lesion) show a higher sensitivity and more precise hemodynamic evaluation, but are usually not performed in the pediatric population. , 10,12 Regarding prognosis, most cases remain stable in the long term, but the outcome is unpredictable and ultimately may lead to disfigurement as seen in our cases. 7,13 The decision whether to treat should depend on the presence of symptoms and esthetic impact of the lesion.…”

“…7,13 The decision whether to treat should depend on the presence of symptoms and esthetic impact of the lesion. 10 Therapeutic options range from a surgical approach including cranioplasty to correct the skull defect, to transvenous embolization by interventional radiology. 11,12 Some authors favor a prophylactic correction of the defect to prevent complications such as hemorrhage, infection, or traumatic air embolism.…”
