Hyperostosis frontalis interna (HFI) is a condition defined as abnormal bone growth on the posterior aspect of the frontal bone. Despite uncertainties regarding its etiology and prognosis, clinicians typically consider HFI a benign pathology. There are no studies organizing all the possible manifestations of the disease. The present study aims to organize all the clinical manifestations of HFI within the current case report/series literature. A blinded PRISMA‐guided search of HFI case reports and case series yielded 43 relevant articles and provided 110 patients for analysis. The symptoms presenting alongside HFI were extracted and tabulated. We found high‐frequency clinical manifestations of HFI (>20% of patients) to include headaches, obesity, vertigo/dizziness symptoms, cognitive decline, and depression. An additional 15 symptoms were tabulated at frequencies found to be less than 20%. Based on our analysis, we suggest the constellation of high‐frequency symptoms can offer a more comprehensive clinical picture of symptomatic HFI which may be valuable to consider for clinicians and future researchers in the field of HFI.

“…HFI is present in 5-12% of the population but is almost 9 times more commoner in women than in men, with 40-60% of the cases in post-menopausal women [ 6 , 7 ]. In women, it is an age-related and age-progressive disorder in which extensive proliferation starts after the age of 40 and most frequently after 60 years of age, unlike the males who have shown minimal thickening at the same age [ 2 ].…”

Hyperostosis Frontalis Interna in a Dry Indian Human Skull: A Case Report

Hyperostosis Frontalis Interna (HFI), a condition that has been sparsely explained till now, is a benign, asymptomatic, and irregular thickening of the endocranium of the frontal bone. It is found to be predominantly present in post-menopausal women during incidental X-ray or CT/MRI of the skull. The prevalence of HFI is documented in different populations, but in the Indian population, it is comparatively rare. Thus, we discuss a serendipitous finding of HFI in an Indian skull. This rare variation was noted in dry Indian human skulls. Gross features of the skull were noted, and it was an adult female skull. The area was decalcified, paraffin-embedded, and stained with Haematoxylin and Eosin. The skull bone was also subjected to plain X-ray/CT investigation. The X-ray skull of 50+ year female type features in anteroposterior and lateral view showed widening of the diploic spaces 8-10 mm with ill-defined hyperdense areas in the frontal region. Changes in computed tomography were noted. HFI often has nonspecific and benign symptoms. However, in severe cases, widespread clinical implications starting from headache, motor aphasia, parkinsonism, and depression can occur, and thus we all should be aware of it.

Hyperostosis Frontalis Interna and Temporalis Interna: A Rare Case Report

et al. 2022

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Hyperostosis is a slow-growing benign bone tumour often seen in the bones of the cranial vault, more commonly found in elderly females. It is an incidental finding noted during radiological examination. The clinical manifestation of such tumour depends on its location inside the cranial cavity: the proximity to the paranasal sinuses, brain tissue, nerves, or blood vessels, etc. Its clinical findings may range from mild obstruction of the paranasal sinuses or blood vessels to severe compression of the surrounding cranial nerves. Here a rare case of hyperostosis of the frontal and temporal bones found during a routine cadaveric dissection in the Department of Anatomy is presented. Causes of the formation of such unusually enlarged bone masses inside the cranial cavity and their clinical presentation are discussed.
