Sinus pericranii: A case report

A healthy 6-week-old white male presented with an intermittently enlarging reddish-blue plaque on the midline forehead and frontal scalp. Neuroimaging revealed an abnormal vascular communication between the extracranial and intracranial venous systems. This rare condition is termed sinus pericranii. The authors provide a review of sinus pericranii and describe its imaging findings, embryologic derivation, differential diagnosis, and clinical management.
