“…In this case, diversion of blood from the anterior sagittal sinus through fistulae near the region of cutis aplasia was documented. The MR venography in this case suggested significant diminution of flow posterior to the lesion, which would suggest a high risk of venous infarction with closure of the lesion and interruption of these scalp draining veins, although at least some flow through the underlying sagittal sinus was suggested by Doppler ultrasonography [15]. The maneuver of compression of the lesion with venous CT angiographic study was selected to rule out the possibility of significant dependence on scalp vein drainage.…”

Surgical Management of Cutis Aplasia with High-Flow Sinus pericranii

Cutis aplasia (cutis aplasia congenita cystica) is a rare congenital disorder with failure of completion of the extracerebral coverings, involving a defect in the scalp and often a cranial defect. A case of cutis aplasia is reported with an associated high-flow venous fistula or sinus pericranii, resulting in altered venous drainage of sagittal sinus blood through dilated scalp veins. Radiological workup to ensure patency of the superior sagittal sinus was critical to the surgical management in this case.

“…Ultrasound may suggest the diagnosis of SP with gray scale imaging demonstrating the osseous defect and color/power Doppler demonstrating communication between the superficial vein and the dural sinuses [9]. Nevertheless, CT or MRI is mandatory to visualize the communication of intra- and extracranial veins.…”

‘Sinus pericranii’ is an abnormal communication between the extracranial veins and the dural venous sinuses (usually the superior sagittal and the transverse sinuses). It is a rare childhood abnormality. We report a case of a 6-month-old boy presenting with a scalp swelling in the left parietal region. Ultrasound with color Doppler and MRI showed a dilated epicranial vein that communicated with the superior sagittal sinus. This anomalous venous connection is known as sinus pericranii. We describe the imaging findings, associated abnormalities and management of this rare vascular abnormality.

“…The mass enlarges with increased intracranial pressure such as crying, a valsalva maneuver, or dependent positioning. It decreases in size with direct compression or head elevation [5,15].…”
