“…Based on some observations showing hyperostosis conditions involving other segments than the frontal bone might have been associated with other metabolic changes in the body, they were referred to as metabolic cardiopathy by Moore [13]. Temporal bone osteoma is another rare finding arising from the petrous part of the temporal bone that can cause progressive auditory impairment due to vestibulocochlear nerve compression [14]. However, the reliable data on hyperostosis involving several cranial bones are scarce.…”

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.
