Abstract

Sinus pericranii (SP) is a rare vascular abnormality of unknown origin that is defined as an aberrant anastomosis joining the intracranial and extracranial venous systems, usually near the midline. Sinus pericranii (SP) can be formed either by focal venous hypertension and abnormal development of diploic veins (congenital type) or by trauma (acquired type).
