“…However, there is a report indicating that congenital cases occur largely in young children, that close to half of the cases are 20 years old and younger, and that patients who are 40 years old and younger account for 88% of the cases. 12 There is no sex difference, but for traumatic etiology, patients tend to be largely young males. 12 The sites of occurrence are the frontal (40%), parietal (34%), occipital (18%), and temporal regions (4%).…”

Sinus pericranii is a vascular tumor of the head having communication with the dural venous system. The tumor enlarges with increased intracranial pressure when the patient is in the lateral recumbent position. Since Stromeyer used the term "sinus pericranii" in his report in 1850, approximately 170 cases have been reported. However, relatively few cases of sinus pericranii have been reported in association with craniosynostosis or by plastic surgeons. In this study, we report seven cases of sinus pericranii associated with craniosynostosis. There were two patients with Apert syndrome, two with Crouzon syndrome, two with oxycephaly, and one with trigonocephaly. The sites of occurrence were the parietal region in six patients and the frontal region in one patient. In either type of case, the tumor was clinically a soft subcutaneous mass of the head. The clinical characteristics of the tumor were its disappearance when the patient was in a sitting position and its appearance when the patient was in a recumbent position or crying. The patients were preoperatively diagnosed with sinus pericranii from imaging test findings, such as from magnetic resonance imaging and aforementioned clinical findings. In all cases, treatment for sinus pericranii was performed during the surgery for craniosynostosis. For patients with lesions in either site, we did not perform craniotomy, and we used a minimally invasive method of tumor excision and resection of the sites of communication using electrocoagulation. Perioperatively, heavy hemorrhage was not observed, and, postoperatively, no recurrence has been observed in any patient. In this study, we examine the etiology, diagnosis, and treatment of sinus pericranii, in particular for patients with craniosynostosis.

“…18 Sinus pericranii lesions differ from venous malformations in that they receive blood from and drain into intracranial sinuses, not extracranial scalp veins 19 Most commonly, the superior sagittal sinus is involved, and, in 40% of the cases, the osseous defect lies in the frontal bone. 4 Sinus pericranii has been reported in association with other congenital vascular abnormalities, such as venous angiomata 20,21 and hemangioma of the cerebellum, retina, 22,23 or tongue, 19 but has not been reported previously in patients with PHACE syndrome to our knowledge. This finding is of interest since venous anomalies are not a frequent finding in PHACE syndrome.…”

“…Since the initial description in 1760, a few more than 100 cases have been reported in the literature. 4 We describe a patient with PHACE syndrome including a midline facial hemangioma, with concurrent sinus pericranii, multiple cerebrovascular anomalies, and agenesis of the corpus callosum. The patient was successfully treated with endovascular embolization.…”
