Abstract:
Sinus pericranii is a rare vascular anomaly which is defined as a group of abnormal communications between the extracranial and intracranial venous systems, usually involving the superior sagittal sinus. A case of parietal sinus pericranii is presented which was developed spontaneously. This 33-year-old woman presented with a soft fluctuant mass in the right parietal region adjacent to the midline. She complained of headache and dizziness. The preoperative radiologic findings of simple skull, bone scan, computed tomography and angiography are presened. The presence of vascular endothelium in the pathologic examination suggested a congenital origin. The lesion, pericranial blood sinus was removed completely and then mutiple, small vascular connections through the underlying skull were obliterated by air-powered drilling.
