Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
Sinus pericranii is a rare vascular abnormality characterised by abnormal connections between the intra- and extracranial venous systems and is usually found in children. In most instances, a sinus pericranii presents as a soft scalp swelling that appears with the patient in the recumbent position and disappears in the erect position. We review two cases of sinus pericranii presented in adulthood and treated surgically with good outcomes. We have performed a search of the English literature using the PubMed database and reviewed the published cases to date to present an overview of this pathological entity. |
