Abstract:
“Enlarged parietal foramina” is a congenital malformation
with autosomal dominant inheritance. The condition is
usually self-limiting and doesn’t require any treatment.
However, it may also be associated with encephalocele,
vascular anomalies or may be a part of syndrome. We
present a case of enlarged parietal foramina in a child and
discuss its imaging findings and the associated intracranial
vascular malformations.
